EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing "Design for a Pavement" at the Cathedral of Bombay, India in 1872. Created by the talented artist William Butterfield, this artwork is a stunning combination of black ink, pencil, and watercolor on paper measuring 52x71 cm. Currently held in a private collection, it offers us a glimpse into the rich architectural heritage of Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay). The intricate mosaic pattern depicted in this design reflects the ornate and geometric elements commonly found in colonial architecture during the 19th century. The fusion of Indian and British influences is evident through its meticulous detailing and exquisite craftsmanship. Butterfield's expertise as an architect shines through this piece, showcasing his ability to create visually striking compositions that seamlessly blend different cultural aesthetics. This artwork serves as a testament to his mastery in capturing the essence of both Indian and European architectural styles. As we admire this remarkable creation, we are transported back to an era where Mumbai was still referred to as Bombay. It reminds us of the city's vibrant history and its significance as an important center for trade and culture. Through Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, this print allows us to appreciate not only Butterfield's talent but also provides valuable insight into India's colonial past.
