EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Calcutta in the year 1788, a time when British colonialism was at its peak. The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than Thomas Daniell, known for his exceptional talent in capturing the essence of landscapes and seascapes. In this particular artwork, Daniell transports us to the bustling riverfront of Calcutta, where trade and commerce thrived. The Hooghly River gracefully flows through the city, serving as a lifeline for transportation and connecting it to distant lands by sea. A fleet of boats can be seen sailing along the coast, their colorful sails adding vibrancy to the scene. The significance of water transport during that era cannot be overstated; it played a crucial role in shaping India's history and economy. This image serves as a testament to how rivers were not just geographical features but also vital channels for trade and communication. As we delve into this piece further, we are reminded of the dominance of the British Empire during this period. The East India Company had established its stronghold in Calcutta, making it an important port city within their vast colonial network. Through Basil Lubbock's Art of Old Time publication from 1925, we have been granted access to witness history unfold before our eyes. This photograph allows us to appreciate both Thomas Daniell's artistic brilliance and gain insight into an era defined by exploration, maritime adventures, and imperial expansion.
