This vintage print captures the essence of colonial India in the 19th century. Titled "Travelling in the Madras Presidency" it offers a glimpse into the administrative subdivision of British India known as the Madras Presidency. Stretching across southern India, this vast region included present-day Tamil Nadu, parts of Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, and Karnataka. The engraving showcases the historic Fort St. George, which served as the official seat of power during winter months in Madras (now Chennai), while Ootacamund became its summer capital. The intricate illustrative technique used in this 19th-century style engraving adds to its charm and nostalgic appeal.
