EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Round the World Yachting in the 'Ceylon', XIV, Calcutta" by Charles Edwin Fripp takes us on a visual journey through the bustling streets of 19th-century Kolkata. The scene depicts a vibrant street on the banks of the Hooghly River, where worshippers of Kali, an object of worship in Hinduism, gather to pay their respects. In this lively snapshot of Indian culture and religious devotion, we witness a diverse array of scenes unfolding simultaneously. Priests can be seen conducting rituals and sacrifices while devotees flock to makeshift booths adorned with colorful decorations. The atmosphere is filled with fervor as people go about their religious duties amidst the backdrop of boats navigating the river. The image also offers glimpses into daily life in Kolkata at that time. Tugboats and other vessels dotting the waterway serve as reminders of its importance as a transportation hub. Meanwhile, residents carry out their routines along busy streets lined with shops and stalls. Fripp's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical moment to life for viewers today. Through his skilled engraving technique, he captures not only architectural elements but also cultural nuances that make this image so rich and evocative. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable historical document that allows us to glimpse into India's past while appreciating its enduring traditions and vibrant cityscapes.
