EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 18th century showcases a detailed map of the Hoogly River, a vital waterway in Bengal, India. The intricate design and hand-colored elements highlight the strategic importance of this region during colonial times.
Created by Benjamin Lacam, this map was dedicated to King George III as a plan for New Harbour in Bengal, complete with docks, marine yards, and accommodations for both the British fleet and ships of the East India Company. The scale of approximately 1:25,000 allows viewers to appreciate the precision and thought put into this cartographic masterpiece.
The bustling port area depicted in the engraving features piers, docks, quaysides, and boats dotting the riverbanks. This artwork not only serves as a navigational tool but also as a historical record of colonial architecture and infrastructure development in Asia.
As you gaze upon this print from the National Maritime Museum in London, you can't help but be transported back to a time when trade routes were expanding across continents and empires were vying for control over lucrative resources. It's a reminder of how artistry and strategy intersected in shaping global history centuries ago.
