Its grandeur was captured in engravings that showcased its architectural splendor, leaving spectators in awe. Amidst this historical backdrop, the Prizes and Prize-Winners of the Calcutta Volunteer Rifle Matches at they were celebrated. The engraving immortalized the victorious moments of these skilled marksmen, highlighting their dedication and precision. But not all stories from they were filled with triumph. Engraved images depicted "The Thomas Thompson" engulfed in flames during her ill-fated voyage from Bombay to Liverpool. Thankfully, the courageous crew found salvation aboard the "Barrackpore, " forever etching their rescue into history. Beyond these dramatic events, sketches brought Native Life in India to life through intricate engravings. These glimpses into everyday existence provided a window into a vibrant culture that thrived amidst diversity. Nestled near Governor-General's Park lay the Cantonment at Barrackpore—an idyllic resting place for Lady Canning who found eternal peace within its grounds. An engraving paid tribute to her memory while capturing the serene beauty of this final resting place. In 1857 AD, another significant moment unfolded—the Disarmament of the 26th at Barrackpore—a litho that marked an important turning point during tumultuous times. It served as a reminder of resilience and determination against adversity. Portraits also graced these historical records—The Viscountess Canning radiating grace and elegance; Mrs Stuart J. C. S. , alongside Mrs d Aguilar exuding charm—all residents who left an indelible mark on Barrackpore's tapestry.
