EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, taken from the 'Voyages of Mandelslo,' published in 1613, offers a glimpse into the early days of the British presence in India. The photograph depicts the first English trading post in the bustling city of Surat, located on the west coast. The post, established in 1612, marked the beginning of the British East India Company's imperial expansion in the Indian subcontinent. The image showcases the warehouse, where valuable commodities such as textiles, spices, and precious stones were stored and traded. Oxen are seen hauling carts laden with goods, indicating the constant movement of merchandise. The presence of a church nearby suggests the establishment of a permanent settlement, with European settlers seeking to assert their cultural influence. The image, published in 1727, offers a fascinating insight into the early history of Anglo-Indian relations. The British East India Company's trading activities in India would eventually lead to the establishment of a vast colonial empire, transforming the political, economic, and social landscape of the subcontinent. This photograph is a testament to the rich and complex history of trade and cultural exchange between Europe and India, which continues to shape the world today.
