EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative etching by Robert Home, titled 'View of the Pettah Gateway Where Colonel Moorhouse Fell, 1794,' transports us back in time to the tumultuous era of colonialism in South East Asia. The image captures the Pettah Gateway in Bangalore, India, a historic site that bears the scars of the Siege of Bangalore in 1791. The gateway, a grand entrance to the city, stands as a witness to the fierce battle that took place here, where British Colonel Joseph Moorhouse lost his life. Home's meticulous etching on paper showcases the gateway in its ruined state, with trees and plants growing over the ruins, nature reclaiming its territory. The black and white contrast adds to the somber and historic feel of the image. The etching also features statues and other structures in the background, providing a glimpse into the past. The Pettah Gateway, located in Hindoostan, was a significant entry point into the city of Bangalore during the British colonial rule in the eighteenth century. This etching serves as a reminder of the rich history and heritage of India during the British Empire, a time marked by conflict and change. The image is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art or historical art, and is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of South East Asia or the British colonial era.
