EDITORS COMMENTS
View at the Mouth of the Hooghly, 1890: A Glimpse into India's Rich History". This print captures a mesmerizing view at the mouth of the Hooghly River in West Bengal, India. Taken in 1890 by an unknown creator, this image offers a glimpse into India's rich history and its connection to trade and exploration. The Hooghly River served as a crucial distributary of the mighty Ganges River, acting as a gateway for ships sailing from Europe towards Bengal. It was through these waters that the East India Company embarked on their journey to establish Calcutta as their prominent trade settlement. The river estuary depicted in this photograph showcases not only its natural beauty but also hints at the bustling activity that once took place along its banks. Intriguing elements such as rowing boats dotting the water surface, palm trees swaying gently in the breeze, and traditional Indian houses lining the shore create a picturesque scene that transports us back to nineteenth-century Hindoostan (India). This enchanting landscape is further enhanced by an engraving-like quality which adds depth and texture to every detail captured. As we marvel at this historical gem from Cassells Illustrated Universal History by Edmund Ollier, we are reminded of how geography played a vital role in shaping nations' destinies. Let this evocative print transport you to another time and immerse yourself in the remote charm of riverside life amidst nature's splendor.
