EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the vibrant world of the Calcutta Agricultural Show. The Animals exhibited at this grand event are beautifully depicted in intricate detail by an anonymous English School artist. The image showcases a diverse range of species that were proudly presented at the show. From wild cows and long-horned Oude bullocks to buffalo cows and Burmese ponies, it is evident that this exhibition aimed to celebrate India's rich livestock heritage. Indian-bred wethers and sheep also make their appearance, highlighting the importance of animal husbandry in this agricultural extravaganza. The scene is bustling with activity as visitors marvel at these magnificent creatures from all corners of India. The atmosphere is filled with excitement as prizes are awarded to those who have bred exceptional animals, showcasing their dedication and expertise. Calcutta itself serves as a fitting backdrop for such an event, with its historical significance as a major hub for trade and culture in colonial India. This engraving not only captures the essence of the Calcutta Agricultural Show but also offers us a window into Indian society during this period. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this remarkable print that immortalizes an important chapter in both Indian history and agricultural traditions worldwide.
