EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic map titled "Map of India, Showing the British Possessions in 1780,1800, and at the Present Time, 1890". The intricate details of this engraving take us back to the 18th and 19th centuries when colonialism was at its peak. Published in "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" by Edmund Ollier in London, Paris, and Melbourne in 1890, this piece offers a glimpse into the expansionist ambitions of the British Empire. The map highlights India's transformation under British rule over time. It reveals how their possessions grew from modest beginnings in 1780 to significant territorial acquisitions by 1800. By comparing these earlier periods with the present state depicted in 1890, viewers can witness the imperialistic influence that shaped Hindoostan (India) during this era. As we examine this monochrome masterpiece closely, it becomes evident that it is not just a mere representation of geographical boundaries but also a testament to power dynamics and historical significance. The unknown artist behind this engraving skillfully captures both the magnitude of colonial ownership and its impact on Indian society. This print serves as an invaluable resource for those interested in understanding India's complex history within the context of imperialism. Its presence reminds us of how literature and art can contribute to our knowledge about different cultures while shedding light on past events that continue to shape our world today.
