EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Fatal Fire and Panic at the Native Fair, Madras" takes us back to 19th century India. The image captures a dramatic moment during a bustling native fair in Madras. As we gaze upon this historical print from the private collection, we are transported to a time when fairs were vibrant hubs of activity and cultural exchange. In this scene, the artist skillfully depicts the chaotic aftermath of a devastating fire that has broken out amidst the crowded fairgrounds. The panic is palpable as people scramble for safety while smoke billows into the sky. Amidst the chaos, one can spot various elements that make up Indian culture - ponies used for racing, bullock rekla (a traditional cart), and even cattle. The engraving was originally published in The Graphic on February 12th, 1887. It offers us a glimpse into an era where such illustrations played an essential role in documenting significant events and capturing public attention. Through this artwork by English School artists preserved by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of both the beauty and unpredictability of life during that period in Madras. This image serves as a testament to human resilience in times of crisis while also shedding light on Indian traditions and customs that have stood the test of time.
