EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "On the Way to India" takes us on a visual journey back to the 19th century. The engraving, created by an English School artist, showcases a scene filled with maritime elements and cultural references. In this intricate artwork, we are transported to Boulogne Harbour where two majestic ships dominate the foreground. A French schooner named Haydee gracefully sails alongside the impressive steamship Charles Dickens. The bustling activity onboard these vessels is evident as crew members go about their Sunday occupations. As our eyes wander through the image, we notice a sentry post overlooking the harbor and a grand saloon staircase leading towards unknown destinations. The forecastle of both ships reveals hints of adventure and anticipation for what lies ahead in distant lands like India. The mention of Gibraltar and Pekin adds further intrigue to this composition, suggesting that these voyages were part of larger journeys connecting Asia's diverse cultures. Indian culture is prominently represented through depictions of Indians engaging in various activities aboard these ships. With its meticulous details and historical significance, this print offers us a glimpse into an era when seafaring was not only about transportation but also served as a gateway for exploration and cultural exchange between continents.
