1872 Engraving Bengal Darjeeling Feet High Plantations Cinchona
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back in time to the lush Cinchona plantations at Darjeeling, Bengal. The image showcases a magnificent Cinchona Succirubra tree standing tall at an impressive height of 30 feet. The engraving, dating back to 1872, beautifully captures the essence of this historical moment with its intricate illustrative technique. The Victorian-era craftsmanship is evident in every detail, showcasing the mastery of engravement during that period. Transporting us to a bygone era, this vintage print exudes a retro charm and offers a glimpse into the rich arts and culture prevalent at that time. Its retro-styled aesthetic adds an extra layer of nostalgia and intrigue. As we admire this remarkable piece, it's fascinating to imagine the bustling activity that once surrounded these plantations. The Cinchona plantations played a significant role in history as they were known for their production of quinine - a crucial ingredient used in treating malaria. While we appreciate this engraving for its artistic value and historical significance, let us not forget its true purpose: to educate and enlighten viewers about our past. This photograph serves as a reminder of how far we have come while honoring those who came before us.
