As we gaze upon this scene from centuries past, we are reminded of how one small step can lead to far-reaching consequences. The establishment of this factory paved the way for future colonial expansion and ultimately changed the trajectory of India's development.
Through Mary Evans Picture Library's lens, we are given a glimpse into a bygone era filled with intrigue and ambition. This print serves as a visual reminder of how interconnected our world has always been, with each action setting off a chain reaction that reverberates through time.
