The Ganges entering the Plains near Hurdwar,
EDITORS COMMENTS
an exquisite 19th-century print by renowned English artist Anthony Vandyke Copley Fielding, captures the breathtaking beauty and grandeur of the sacred Ganges River as it flows through the northern Indian city of Haridwar. The image, taken from the second volume of "Hindostan, The Shores of the Red Sea, and The Himalaya Mountains," published by Fisher, Son & Co. in London in 1845, offers a fascinating glimpse into the geography and culture of India during this period. The scene unfolds as the sun sets over the Ganges, casting a warm, golden glow on the tranquil water. The river, teeming with life, is dotted with boats of various sizes and shapes, including a majestic elephant-drawn barge, transporting people and goods along its banks. The river's mouth is visible in the distance, where it merges with the expansive plains, creating a stunning contrast between the winding waterway and the flat, fertile land. Mountains, most likely the Himalayas, can be seen in the background, their snow-capped peaks touching the sky. The intricate details of the landscape, from the winding roads leading to the city to the individual trees lining the riverbanks, are a testament to Fielding's exceptional artistic skill. This print, which once graced the pages of an esteemed geographical publication, offers a unique window into the past, allowing us to explore the wonders of India's natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. The setting sun, with its intricate solar system details, adds an element of science and astronomy to the scene, making this print a true masterpiece of the 19th century.
