EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Canterbury Week in Calicut, South-West India" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into a vibrant cultural event. The image showcases a bustling scene filled with an array of intriguing elements. Neighbouring hills provide a picturesque backdrop as visitors arrive for Canterbury Week festivities. In the foreground, we see a shy man seated on the floor while getting his hair cut by a skilled barber. The preparations for the much-anticipated Canterbury Week ball are underway, with horses being drawn and polished nearby. A regulation pony stands tall amidst coolies and other workers on the road. Transportation plays a significant role in this lively gathering, as Kolkata is mentioned alongside Calicut. Stallions and ponies can be seen alongside shire horses, highlighting their importance in racehorse culture during that time. The image captures not only the excitement surrounding Canterbury Week but also offers insight into Indian culture at that period. Asian influences are evident through demure individuals dressed in traditional attire. This historical print from Fine Art Finder transports viewers to another era, allowing them to appreciate both the artistic skill of English School engravers and gain insights into life during 19th-century South-West India's festive celebrations.
