EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Great Fire on the Hooghly, near Calcutta" takes us back to a significant event in 19th-century India. The engraving, created by an English School artist, showcases the devastating fire that engulfed the Hooghly River and its surroundings. The image captures the chaos and destruction caused by this massive inferno. Flames leap high into the sky, illuminating the darkness of night as billows of smoke fill the air. The river's surface reflects these fiery hues, creating an eerie yet mesmerizing scene. At the center of attention is an American ship named Aurora, laden with kerosene barrels that have become fuel for this catastrophic blaze. As we gaze at this historical moment frozen in time, we can only imagine the panic and desperation felt by those witnessing such a calamity. Calcutta (now Kolkata), known for its rich Indian culture and bustling city life, becomes a backdrop to this tragedy. The Great Fire on the Hooghly serves as a reminder of both India's vibrant history and its resilience in overcoming adversity. Through this print from Fine Art Finder's collection curated by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to a time when disasters like these were captured through engravings for publications like The Graphic. It allows us to reflect upon our shared human experiences while appreciating art's ability to preserve moments that shape our world forever.
