EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the majestic Saugor Lighthouse, standing proudly off the Mouth of the Hooghly River in India. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a moment frozen in time. The scene is bustling with activity as ships and boats navigate through the mouth of the Hooghly River. A tugboat gracefully glides across the water, serving as a reliable means of transport for passengers and goods alike. The lighthouse itself stands tall against a picturesque sky, its beacon guiding sailors safely through treacherous waters. Intriguing details emerge from this snapshot of Indian culture. The presence of Indian locals adds depth to the image, highlighting their integral role in maritime activities. Their vibrant attire and distinct features reflect their rich heritage and contribute to an overall sense of Asian charm. This engraving was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on January 29th, 1876 – a testament to its historical significance. Now preserved within a private collection, it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty. Bridgeman Images has brought this exceptional piece into our hands once again through Fine Art Finder. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to an era where transportation relied heavily on rivers and seas – reminding us of humanity's enduring connection with waterways throughout history.
