EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View of the Quay of Benares, c1891" takes us back to 19th century British India. The creator, James Grant, captures a picturesque scene from his book "Cassells Illustrated History of India Vol. II". The image showcases the bustling quay along the Ganges River in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see wooden boats gracefully floating on the calm waters of the river. The background is filled with people going about their daily activities - men and women engaged in conversation or busily attending to their tasks. A houseboat stands out amidst this lively atmosphere as it rests peacefully near the steps leading up to land. The photograph not only offers a glimpse into colonial life but also highlights the rich geographical features that make India so enchanting. The ghats (steps) leading down to the water's edge provide an inviting access point for transportation and trade along this vital waterway. James Grant's artistic eye beautifully captures both the natural beauty and human activity present at this historical location. This print serves as a reminder of India's vibrant past during British Raj and its significance as an important trading hub within Asia.
