EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and haunting print captures the dark reality of infanticide in India during the 19th century. The engraving, created by Thomas Colman Dibdin and based on a scene witnessed by James Gardner, depicts the chilling practice as it took place in the Temple of Canesa in Benares. The image showcases a solemn religious ceremony where innocent babies are sacrificed, highlighting the disturbing intersection between faith and horror. The newborns lie helpless amidst an atmosphere of ancient customs and ceremonies that condone their killing. Through this artwork, we are confronted with the harsh truths surrounding infanticide - a deeply rooted religious custom that was once prevalent in certain regions of India. It serves as a stark reminder of how doctrines can sometimes lead to unimaginable acts against children. The city of Varanasi (also known as Benares) is renowned for its spiritual significance, but beneath its sacred facade lies this grim aspect of its history. This engraving sheds light on an unsettling chapter within Indian society, reminding us that even places considered holy can harbor darkness. As we gaze upon this image from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we cannot help but feel both sorrow and disbelief at such practices. It serves as a poignant testament to our collective responsibility to protect vulnerable lives and challenge harmful traditions wherever they may be found.
