EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the grandeur and solemnity of the Christmas-Day Service in Calcutta Cathedral, attended by none other than the Prince of Wales himself. The 19th-century English School artist beautifully depicts the architectural marvel that is Calcutta Cathedral, with its intricate details and soaring spires. The scene is filled with a sense of reverence as Indian worshippers gather to celebrate this special occasion. Dressed in their traditional attire, they bring an air of authenticity to this momentous event. The fusion of Indian culture and British influence is evident as both communities come together under one roof. The presence of the Prince of Wales adds an extra layer of significance to this image. His attendance symbolizes not only his personal devotion but also highlights the importance placed on religious unity during that era. As we delve into this historical snapshot, it becomes apparent how religion transcends boundaries and brings people from diverse backgrounds together. This engraving serves as a testament to the power of faith and its ability to bridge gaps between cultures. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a significant moment in Kolkata's history - a city known for its rich cultural heritage. It reminds us that even amidst colonial rule, traditions remained steadfast, creating spaces where different worlds could coexist harmoniously within places like Calcutta Cathedral.
