The Writers' Buildings, Calcutta (image 3 of 3), 1812
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an exquisite black and white aquatint engraving by Thomas Daniell and William Daniell, part of their renowned series "Oriental Scenery" and specifically the Quarto Prints edition. This masterpiece captures the grandeur of the Writers' Buildings, a significant landmark in Calcutta, India, during the 19th century. The Writers' Buildings, also known as the Secretariat Building, served as the administrative hub of British colonial rule in Bengal, Hindoostan, and later, West Bengal. The image portrays the exterior of the building with its grandiose columns, intricate architectural details, and sprawling lawns. The scene is bustling with activity, as palanquins and sedan chairs transport officials and dignitaries, while horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians traverse the cobblestone streets. The monochrome palette adds a timeless quality to the image, emphasizing the historical significance of the location. The street scene is a snapshot of colonial life in Calcutta, with the civil service in full swing, and the influence of European culture evident in the clothing and transportation methods. This work of art, created by Thomas Daniell and William Daniell, is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, preserving it for future generations to appreciate the rich history and heritage of India during the 19th century. The image serves as a testament to the beauty and complexity of the colonial era, offering a glimpse into the past through the lens of these talented artists.
