EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait depicts Baboo Kasiprasad Ghosh, a prominent figure in the literary and journalistic scene of 19th century India. Kasiprasad Ghosh was an accomplished Bengali poet and the editor of the Hindu Intelligencer, an English language journal published in Calcutta (Kolkata). The portrait is taken from 'Views in India, China and on the Shores of the Red Sea,' Volume II, published by Fisher, Son & Co. in London in 1835. Ghosh wears a traditional Indian headdress, known as a turban, which adds to the authenticity of the image. His serious expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of intelligence and determination. The headgear, along with his formal attire, suggests his status as a respected member of society. The Hindu Intelligencer was an influential newspaper that played a significant role in shaping public opinion during the British colonial period. Ghosh's role as its editor placed him at the heart of Indian journalism, making him a key figure in the dissemination of news and ideas. The portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a man who straddled two worlds - the traditional Indian culture and the modern Western influence. It is a poignant reminder of the rich literary and journalistic heritage of India during the 19th century. The portrait is an engraving, likely produced from an original painting or photograph. The image is attributed to an unknown artist, adding to its allure and mystery. It is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs or portraits of India during the colonial era.
