EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from the Liszt Collection transports us back in time to 19th century India. The image showcases a magnificent marble statue perched gracefully atop a memorial well, creating an awe-inspiring sight. The statue, meticulously carved with intricate details, stands as a testament to the craftsmanship of its creators. Its serene expression and elegant posture exude an air of tranquility and grace that is truly mesmerizing. The juxtaposition of the pure white marble against the rugged texture of the well creates a striking visual contrast. Located in Kanpur, India, this memorial well holds deep historical significance. It serves as a poignant reminder of bygone times when life revolved around communal wells for sustenance and gathering water for daily needs. This particular monument was erected between 1863 and 1887, during an era marked by colonial influences on Indian art and architecture. The albumen silver print technique used to capture this moment in time adds depth and richness to every detail within the frame. The monochromatic tones lend an ethereal quality to the image while emphasizing its timeless beauty. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are transported not only to Kanpur but also into history itself – allowing us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind this sculpture and its cultural significance within Indian society at that time.
