EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "India: The Burning Ghat, Calcutta" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the historical and cultural significance of this Indian city. The engraving, created by English School artists John Pedder, H Sheppard Dale, and H H Stanton for the book Picturesque India: A Handbook for European Travellers in 1898, showcases the solemnity and mystique of Calcutta's burning ghat. The image transports us to a time when Calcutta was known as one of India's most prominent cities. The burning ghat depicted here holds great importance in Hindu culture as it is where cremations take place along the banks of the holy river Ganges. This sacred ritual symbolizes liberation from earthly attachments and paves the way for spiritual transcendence. The intricate details captured by these talented artists allow us to appreciate not only their skill but also gain insight into Indian customs and traditions. From the bustling streets surrounding the ghat to its architectural grandeur, every element tells a story about life in colonial-era Calcutta. As we delve into this mesmerizing engraving courtesy of Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us marvel at how art can transport us through time and space while providing valuable glimpses into different cultures around our diverse world.
