EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View of Muttra, c1891" takes us back to the enchanting landscapes of 19th century India. Created by James Grant for his book "Cassells Illustrated History of India Vol. I. ", this image showcases the rich history and cultural heritage of British India. The picture transports us to the riverbank of Jamuna (also known as Jumna or Yamuna), where we witness a breathtaking view of Muttra, now known as Mathura in Uttar Pradesh, India. The serene waters reflect the surrounding architecture and housing structures that line its shores. In this snapshot from a bygone era, we see local men going about their daily lives along the riverfront. Their presence adds a human touch to an otherwise tranquil scene, reminding us that life has always thrived on these historic lands. James Grant's illustration captures not only the geographical features but also provides insight into colonialism and imperialism during this period in Indian history. It serves as a window into British Raj and highlights how it shaped both the landscape and society at large. As we admire this remarkable piece from Cassell Petter & Galpin's collection, let us appreciate its artistic value while acknowledging its historical significance in documenting the beauty and complexities of 19th century Hindoostan (India).
