EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor print takes us back to the bustling streets of Calcutta in 1786. The scene showcases a unique blend of colonial architecture and native life, capturing the essence of British presence in India during that era. On the left side stands the majestic Old Fort William, a symbol of British power and control over this thriving city. Its imposing structure dominates the skyline, serving as a constant reminder of colonialism's influence on Indian soil. In contrast to the fort's grandeur, we see a playhouse nestled amidst the busy streets. This theater represents an escape from reality for both locals and British residents alike, offering entertainment and respite from their daily lives. The obelisk memorial positioned nearby commemorates those who tragically lost their lives in the infamous Black Hole prison incident. It serves as a solemn reminder of past atrocities while also honoring those who perished. As we delve deeper into this street scene, we witness pedestrians going about their daily routines alongside ox-drawn carts carrying goods through narrow alleyways. The vibrant colors and meticulous details bring this historical moment to life before our eyes. Thomas Daniell's masterful brushstrokes transport us back in time, allowing us to immerse ourselves in late 18th-century Calcutta. This artwork is not just an exquisite piece but also an invaluable window into India's rich history under British rule.
