EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, created by the English School in the 19th century, offers a mesmerizing view of the grandeur and architectural marvels that adorned Calcutta during the opening of the International Exhibition. The image showcases an array of exhibition buildings nestled amidst a bustling cityscape. As our eyes wander through this panoramic view, we are transported to Dalhousie Square, where government offices stand tall with their colonial charm. The General Post Office and Belvedere catch our attention with their intricate designs, while the Imperial Indian Museum proudly displays its treasures from across Asia. The residence of the Governor of Bengal stands as a testament to British influence on Indian soil. Surrounding it are annexes that house exhibitors from all corners of the world, showcasing their finest products and innovations. This international gathering brings together diverse cultures under one roof. The streets below come alive with street scenes filled with vibrant colors and bustling activity. Old Court House Street becomes a melting pot where Indian culture intertwines harmoniously with Asian influences. Through this remarkable print, we catch a glimpse into a time when Calcutta was at its zenith as an epicenter for trade and cultural exchange. It serves as a reminder of how exhibitions like these have played an integral role in shaping our understanding and appreciation for different civilizations throughout history.
