EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View of the Fort and Town, Calcutta, 1854" takes us back in time to the vibrant cityscape of Calcutta in the mid-19th century. The artwork, created by Major General Sir Charles Walters D Oyly, showcases his exceptional talent with pencil and watercolor. The image transports us to a bustling scene where we see a majestic ship anchored near a magnificent castle-like fortification. The fort stands tall on a hill overlooking the town, creating an elevated view that captures the essence of this historic city. A large group of men can be seen going about their daily activities within its boundaries. As our eyes wander through the composition, we notice intricate details such as fences delineating different areas and horse riders gracefully traversing along roads leading towards the sea. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pencil drawing and watercolor technique. The natural beauty surrounding Calcutta is also highlighted in this artwork. With glimpses of the Indian Ocean shimmering under sunlight, it adds depth and serenity to this lively urban setting. Through this piece, Major General Sir Charles Walters D Oyly has not only captured a moment frozen in time but also provided us with an insight into life during that era. It serves as a testament to both his artistic prowess and his ability to transport viewers back into history.
