EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Benares Ekka, c1880 (1905)" takes us back in time to the vibrant streets of India during the late 19th century. The artist, Alexander Henry Hallam Murray, beautifully captures a scene of transport and transportation in this scenic outdoor setting. In the foreground of the image, we see an Indian man dressed in traditional attire sitting atop a pony-drawn carriage known as an ekka. With his colorful turban and distinctive headdress, he exudes a sense of cultural richness and identity. The horse pulling the ekka is adorned with blinkers, adding to its charm. The location is believed to be Varanasi (also known as Benares), situated in Uttar Pradesh, India. This historical city holds immense religious significance for Hindus and has been a hub of spirituality for centuries. Murray's watercolor technique brings out the vivid colors and intricate details of both man and animal against a backdrop that showcases rural countryside scenery. The composition evokes a sense of tranquility amidst bustling road transport. This print was featured in A. H. Hallam Murray's publication "The High-Road of Empire" which explores various aspects of life within the British Empire during that era. It serves as a visual testament to India's rich heritage while also highlighting its connection to Britain's imperial history. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are transported back in time to witness not only the beauty but also glimpse into an important chapter in history -
