EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library depicts the infamous "Black Hole of Calcutta," a historical event that has been shrouded in myth and mystery for centuries. The Black Hole of Calcutta refers to a small, poorly ventilated dungeon in which 146 British prisoners were allegedly confined by the Nawab of Bengal in June 1756. According to popular belief, only 23 of these prisoners survived the nightmarish ordeal.
However, recent research has debunked this long-standing myth, revealing that the actual number of prisoners was likely much lower and that many more individuals may have survived than previously thought. Despite this new information, the legend of the Black Hole of Calcutta continues to capture our imaginations and serve as a reminder of the brutal events that unfolded during this dark chapter in history.
This print serves as a haunting reminder of the tragic events that took place in Calcutta over two centuries ago. It transports us back in time to witness firsthand the horrors faced by those unfortunate souls who were imprisoned within its walls. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we are reminded not only of the resilience and strength shown by those who survived but also of the importance of questioning historical narratives and seeking out truth amidst layers of myth and misconception.
