EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back in time to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the bustling city of Calcutta as it appeared centuries ago. The print showcases the remarkable transformation of Kolkata, which was then known as Calcutta, before it became a colonial city under the British East India Company. The image captures an expansive view of this thriving metropolis situated on the banks of the River Hooghly. A majestic sailing ship dominates the foreground, symbolizing the vibrant trade and commerce that defined this Asian hub. As we gaze further into the distance, our eyes are drawn to a magnificent fortress standing tall against the horizon, signifying both protection and power. The enchanting scene depicts an amalgamation of Indian and British influences. The architecture reflects traditional Indian elements while also hinting at emerging Western styles brought by British settlers. This fusion creates a unique cityscape that is both exotic and familiar. As we contemplate this historic print, we cannot help but marvel at how Kolkata has evolved over time. From its humble beginnings as a trading post to becoming one of India's most significant cultural and economic centers today, this engraving serves as a testament to Kolkata's rich history and enduring spirit. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only the artistic beauty captured by English School in their engraving but also invites us to reflect upon Kolkata's journey through time – from its early days as Calcutta to its present-day identity as Kolkata – truly an extraordinary transformation indeed!
