EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Madras and its Suburbs (engraving)" takes us back in time to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the historical landscape of this bustling city. The image showcases an array of landmarks and institutions that defined Madras during that era. In the foreground, we see a beautifully manicured garden, exuding tranquility amidst the vibrant chaos of urban life. Adjacent to it stands a lunatic asylum, reminding us of the challenges faced by society in caring for those with mental health conditions even then. Further into the frame, we spot a general hospital and Vepery Mission Church, symbols of compassion and faith respectively. These structures stand tall alongside residential houses that were witness to countless stories unfolding within their walls. The Botanical Garden adds a touch of natural beauty to this engraving while highlighting Madras' commitment to preserving green spaces within its expanding boundaries. A statue dedicated to Sir T Munroes serves as a reminder of influential figures who shaped the city's governance. Religious diversity is evident through St Andrews Church, St Georges Cathedral, and St Peters Church - testaments to Madras' multicultural fabric. Overall, this print offers not just an insight into Madras' rich history but also celebrates its architectural marvels and societal progress. It invites viewers on an immersive journey through time while appreciating how these landmarks continue to shape modern-day Chennai.
