EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the raw power and beauty of the Hooghly Bore, a natural tidal phenomenon that occurs in the estuary of the Ganges river in West Bengal. In this image, a native boat can be seen tossing in the waves created by this important channel, showcasing both the historical significance and sheer force of nature at play.
Dating back to around 1840, this snapshot from circa mid-19th century provides a glimpse into a time when these waters were navigated by traditional vessels like the one depicted here. The Hooghly River has long been a vital artery for trade and transportation in Bengal, making it an integral part of local history and culture.
The swirling currents and towering waves captured in this photograph serve as a reminder of the untamed power of nature, as well as the resilience and skill required to navigate such treacherous waters. It is a testament to both human ingenuity and our humble place within the greater forces of our environment.
Whether you are drawn to its historical significance or simply mesmerized by its natural beauty, this print is sure to evoke awe and wonder in all who behold it.
