EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the solemn beauty of the "Angel of the Memorial Well" in Cawnpore, India. Created by Kirk & Sons of Cowes in 1902, this statue stands tall in the Memorial Garden at Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. The garden serves as a poignant reminder of the tragic events that unfolded during India's First War of Independence in 1857. The Bibighar Well holds a haunting history, where numerous women and children lost their lives. To commemorate their sacrifice, Baron Carlo Marochetti sculpted this angelic figure surrounded by Henry Yules Gothic screen in the Municipal Gardens. The monochrome image adds an air of timelessness to this architectural masterpiece. The intricate details on both the angel and its surroundings are beautifully captured through Arthur Henry Kirk's lens. The composition evokes a sense of reverence for those who perished during that tumultuous period. Religion plays a significant role in this photograph as Christianity is symbolized by the angel itself. Its presence amidst such tragedy offers solace and hope for healing wounds caused by war and conflict. As we gaze upon this image from over a century ago, we are reminded not only of historical events but also how art can serve as a powerful medium to honor those who have suffered. This print encapsulates both sorrow and resilience while inviting us to reflect on our shared human experiences across time and place.
