This engraving, titled "The Indian Section of the Colonial and Indian Exhibition, Specimens of Native Art Workmanship" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of India. The print showcases an array of exquisite artifacts displayed in a grand setting. The image captures the opulence and diversity of Indian craftsmanship with its intricate details. From copper embossed betel boxes to a magnificent claret jug, each piece represents the mastery of native artisans. The pillars and marble palace in the background add an air of grandeur to this exhibition space. Notable highlights include items from various regions such as Fort Agra, Lucknow, Hyderabad, Tanjore, and Mumbai (formerly Bombay). Among them are silver essence holders, repousse cases adorned with modern bidri workmanship, Cutch repousse specimens, Burmese silver bowls, Kashmir silverware embellished with gilt accents – all showcasing different regional styles.
