EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic view across the Hoogli River to Fort William in Kolkata, India circa 1760. Built by the British East India Company, this imposing fort holds a dark chapter in its history as the site of the infamous Black Hole of Calcutta atrocity in 1756.
The image showcases the colonial architecture of Fort William against the backdrop of serene waters and sailing vessels. The black and white format adds a timeless quality to this snapshot from a bygone era of imperialism and exploration.
As you gaze upon this scene, you can almost feel the weight of history that permeates through every brick and stone of Fort William. It serves as a stark reminder of the impact that colonialism had on shaping not only landscapes but also societies around the world.
This print is not just a visual representation but also a poignant reflection on power dynamics, exploitation, and resistance that defined this period in history. It invites us to contemplate our past and consider how it continues to influence our present-day realities.
In owning this piece, you are not just acquiring an artwork but also a piece of living history that speaks volumes about human ambition, conquest, and resilience.
