EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "A Stampede of Jackals through the Environs of Calcutta" transports us back to 19th century India, specifically the bustling city of Calcutta. The image showcases a dramatic scene as a pack of jackals races through the city's environs, creating an atmosphere filled with both awe and trepidation. The artist, belonging to the English School, skillfully captures the chaotic energy of this stampede. As we gaze at this print from a private collection, we are drawn into a world where nature clashes with human civilization. The dwellings and architecture in the background serve as a stark contrast to these wild creatures roaming freely amidst them. Calcutta, now known as Kolkata, is renowned for its rich history and vibrant culture. This artwork offers us a glimpse into daily life during that time period when jackals were still commonly found in close proximity to urban areas. It speaks volumes about the coexistence between humans and wildlife in this dynamic Asian metropolis. As we delve deeper into this engraving by Bridgeman Images from their Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection, it becomes evident that it was originally created as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on January 23rd, 1864. Its inclusion in such a prestigious publication further emphasizes its significance as both historical documentation and artistic expression. In conclusion, this remarkable print not only showcases the beauty of Indian architecture but also highlights our intricate relationship with nature within urban spaces like Calcut
