EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "Calcutta. Me the sea Captain loved the river built" by William Heath Robinson takes us back to a time when British imperialism was at its peak. The image, part of a collection published in 1915 called "A Song of the English" evokes feelings of patriotism and nostalgia for an era long gone. In this scene, we see Calcutta, one of India's most vibrant cities, through the eyes of a sea captain who deeply admires its majestic river. The artist skillfully captures the essence of Calcutta's bustling waterfront with intricate details and delicate strokes. From the grand architecture lining the riverbanks to the busy boats sailing along its waters, every element tells a story about England's influence on this exotic land. The print not only celebrates British colonial power but also pays homage to Rudyard Kipling's poetry that inspired it. Through his words and Robinson's artistry, they transport us into an enchanting world where East meets West - a fusion that defined much of India during this period. As we gaze upon this exquisite engraving from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of both the beauty and complexity inherent in imperialistic endeavors. It serves as a reminder that history is multifaceted and invites us to reflect on our past while appreciating fine art that captures these moments so vividly.
