EDITORS COMMENTS
The Indian and Colonial Exhibition (engraving) captures the grandeur and cultural diversity of a bygone era. This print, created by Frank Watkins in 1886, takes us back to a time when colonialism was at its peak and global exhibitions were a window into the world. The image showcases the South Entrance of the exhibition, adorned with exquisite Maltese lace and vases from Cyprus. These intricate details highlight the influence of European colonial powers on their colonies, as well as the rich craftsmanship found across different cultures. Stepping inside this bustling exhibition, visitors would have been immersed in a sensory experience like no other. The vibrant colors and ornate decorations reflect India's presence within this global event. The Indian court stands proudly amidst other displays from around Europe, symbolizing both unity and competition between nations. This engraving not only serves as a visual record but also sparks curiosity about how these exhibitions shaped perceptions of colonialism during that time. It reminds us of the complex relationship between Europe and Asia, while also acknowledging the contributions made by diverse communities such as Indians living abroad. As we gaze upon this historical artifact today, let it serve as a reminder to appreciate our shared heritage while critically examining our past.
