EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Sir George Greaves Farewell to Poona on his Resignation as Commander-in-Chief of the Bombay Presidency" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image depicts Sir George Greaves bidding farewell to the city of Poona, now known as Pune, upon resigning from his position as Commander-in-Chief of the Bombay Presidency. The scene is filled with emotion and grandeur as Sir George stands tall, surrounded by a diverse crowd representing the rich cultural fabric of India. As he prepares to depart, one can sense a mixture of admiration and sadness among those who have gathered to witness this historic event. The intricate details captured by the English School artist transport us back to 19th-century India. From the bustling streets of Mumbai (formerly Bombay) in the background, symbolizing progress and modernity, to individuals dressed in traditional attire reflecting their Indian heritage. This engraving was originally published in The Graphic on May 6th, 1893 - an era when illustrated papers played a vital role in documenting historical events for public consumption. It serves not only as a visual record but also offers insight into colonial power dynamics during that period. As we gaze at this print today, it reminds us of both the complexities and beauty inherent within historical moments. It invites contemplation about how these events shaped our world while honoring those who played pivotal roles like Sir George Greaves – leaving an indelible mark on both local and global history.
