EDITORS COMMENTS
Lady Teignmouth and her Party on the Great Coolea Mullah in the Sunderbans, circa 1795, is a stunning watercolor painting by Hubert Cornish that captures the essence of colonial travel in the late 18th century. The painting depicts Lady Teignmouth, the wife of the first Lord Teignmouth, who was the Governor-General of India at the time, and her party aboard a boat in the Sunderbans region of Bengal, India. The boat in the foreground, which contains a kitchen, is being rowed by local boatmen, while larger ships and boats with intricate rigging and billowing sails can be seen in the background. The Sunderbans, a vast mangrove forest and delta located in the Bay of Bengal, were a popular destination for British travelers during the colonial era. Lady Teignmouth and her party appear to be enjoying their journey, with some passengers reclining on the deck and others observing the scenic beauty of the area. The painting also showcases the British flag flying high on one of the ships, symbolizing the power and presence of the British Empire in India. Hubert Cornish, who was the brother-in-law and Secretary to the Governor-General of India, skillfully captures the vibrant colors and dynamic energy of the scene. The painting provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering insights into the lifestyle and experiences of British travelers during the colonial era. With its rich details and historical significance, Lady Teignmouth and her Party on the Great Coolea Mullah in the Sunderbans is a must-see for anyone interested in Indian history, colonialism, or the art of Hubert Cornish.
