EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling city of Calcutta, circa 1890. This print captures a moment aboard the HMS Calcutta in Portsmouth, England. Passengers can be seen gathered in the gallery, their faces filled with anticipation and curiosity. The black and white format adds a touch of nostalgia, transporting us to an era long gone. The attention to detail is exquisite, showcasing the original artwork by Tissot through an engraving technique. Every line and stroke brings life to this snapshot from history. The composition beautifully frames the scene, highlighting not only the passengers but also the intricate furniture that adorns this space. A lone female figure sits gracefully on a chair amidst her fellow travelers. Her posture exudes elegance and poise as she gazes out into unknown horizons. It's fascinating how even in this candid moment captured over a century ago, we can still feel her presence radiating strength and resilience. This remarkable piece from Hulton Archive allows us to delve into our collective past while marveling at its artistic brilliance. It serves as a reminder of our shared human experiences across time and place – journeys embarked upon with hope for new adventures or perhaps longing for distant shores. Displaying this print will undoubtedly add sophistication and historical charm to any space it graces.
