EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Fort William at Bengall, 1736" takes us back to the British colonial era in Calcutta. The artist, Gerard Vandergucht, skillfully captures the grandeur and significance of this historic fortification on the banks of the River Hooghly. The image showcases Fort William's impressive architecture and formidable fortifications that served as an army base for the British forces. Its strategic location made it a vital hub for trade and shipping activities during that time. In the foreground, we see ships and galleons docked along the riverbank, symbolizing the bustling maritime trade that took place here. This print offers a glimpse into Bengal's rich history as a thriving colony under British rule. It reminds us of Kolkata's transformation from a small village to a prominent city shaped by its colonial past. However, it is important to note that this artwork does not depict any connection with commercial use or reference to any specific company. Vandergucht's meticulous attention to detail transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both the military importance and architectural beauty of Fort William. This engraving serves as a visual testament to an era when empires clashed over territories and commerce flourished amidst political tensions.
