The Calcutta Obsequies of Lord Mayo - A Glimpse into Colonial India's Maritime Farewell
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, transports us back to a significant moment in history - the funeral procession of Richard Southwell Bourke, more commonly known as Lord Mayo. The image captures a solemn scene on the River Hooghly in Calcutta, India. As we gaze upon this print, our eyes are drawn to the majestic ships that line the riverbank. These vessels symbolize both power and transportation during colonial times. Among them is Daphne, approaching with great dignity to carry Lord Mayo's remains on their final journey. The atmosphere is heavy with grief as mourners board Daphne. Indians from all walks of life gather together to bid farewell to their departed leader. Their presence reflects the diverse tapestry of Indian society at that time. Calcutta itself stands tall and proud in the background, its architecture blending seamlessly with its vibrant surroundings. This bustling city was not only witness to grand ceremonies but also served as a hub for trade and commerce throughout Asia. Through this remarkable artwork, we catch a glimpse of how different cultures intersected during British rule in India. It serves as a poignant reminder of historical events that shaped nations and peoples alike. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to delve into an era when maritime journeys were laden with emotion and significance - transporting not just goods but also memories
