EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases the remarkable Railway from Calcutta to Delhi, a monumental feat of engineering and transportation in colonial India. The image takes us back to a time when elephants were still used as a means of transport, as we see them majestically passing by the imposing Fortress of Rhotas. The scene is bustling with activity, depicting not only the railway itself but also various fortifications, a baggage train, boats on the river, and an intended bridge that would connect Calcutta to Delhi. Livestock such as cattle can be seen alongside passengers being transported on boats across rivers like Sone and Jumna. The fortified ramparts surrounding these historical landmarks add an air of grandeur and significance to this snapshot of Indian culture. As we explore every detail within this intricate engraving, it becomes evident that this railway was more than just a mode of transport; it represented progress and connectivity in Asia during that era. Whether it's the pedestrian bridges or stone structures spanning over waterways, each element tells its own story about how people traversed through cities like Calcutta. This print serves as both a visual delight for art enthusiasts and history buffs alike who wish to delve into India's rich past.
