EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching, titled 'East View of Bangalore with the Cypress Garden,' was created by Scottish artist Robert Home in the late 18th century. The image offers a glimpse into the colonial past of Bangalore, India, during the British Empire's rule in Hindoostan. The east view perspective showcases the city's layout, with a dirt track leading to the distant horizon and the Cypress Garden dominating the foreground. The garden, adorned with tall, stately cypress trees, adds a sense of tranquility and beauty to the otherwise bustling scene. The British influence is evident in the architectural style of the buildings, their grandeur a testament to the power and wealth of the colonial rulers. The etching also highlights the natural scenery, with the trees and plants contrasting the man-made structures. The Cypress Garden, located in the southeastern part of Bangalore, was a popular spot for the British residents, providing a respite from the heat and the hustle and bustle of the city. This historic artwork, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the colonial era and the rich heritage of South East Asia.
