EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the solemn beauty of the "Angel of the Memorial Well" in Cawnpore, India. Created in 1895 by an unknown artist, this statue stands as a poignant reminder of the tragic events that unfolded during India's First War of Independence in 1857. The Memorial Garden at Kanpur was established to honor those who lost their lives, particularly women and children, at the Bibighar Well. The angel sculpture, skillfully crafted by Baron Carlo Marochetti, is surrounded by Henry Yules Gothic screen in the Municipal Gardens. This architectural masterpiece covers the site where countless innocent lives were lost. The photograph transports us back to a time when religious symbolism played a significant role in memorializing historical events. The angel represents hope and solace amidst tragedy, embodying Christian beliefs while serving as a universal symbol of peace. With its monochrome aesthetic, this image evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. It invites viewers to reflect on both the artistic mastery behind this sculpture and the profound impact that war can have on communities. Preserved through time thanks to George Newnes Ltd's publishing efforts in London, this print serves as an invaluable record of history and artistry intertwined. Its presence reminds us not only of past struggles but also encourages us to strive for harmony and remembrance today.
