EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate "Sketches of Simla" engraving by the English School in the 19th century. The image takes us back to a time when Simla, now known as Shimla, was a prominent summer retreat for British officials and Indian royalty alike. The sketch beautifully captures the architectural marvels that adorned this hill station in India. From historic houses to Barnes Court and Peterhoff, every detail is meticulously etched onto paper, transporting us into an era of grandeur and elegance. In the foreground, we see a chief commander immersed in studying these sketches with great interest. His gaze reflects his admiration for this enchanting place and its rich history. As he delves deeper into each stroke of the artist's pen, one can almost feel him being transported to another time. Simla's significance as a summer residence for governors-general is evident through this artwork. It served as a haven where they could escape from the scorching heat of India's plains and enjoy cooler temperatures amidst stunning natural beauty. Sir Hugh Rose himself graced these grounds during his tenure as governor general, leaving behind an indelible mark on Simla's cultural heritage. Through this print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of India's diverse culture and its harmonious blend with British influence during colonial times. It serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and a historical treasure trove for those seeking glimpses into our shared past.
