EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases the Puranic Gods, Avatars of Vishnu in all their divine glory. Created by an English School artist, this print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of India. The artwork was originally featured in George C M Birdwood's book, "The Industrial Arts of India" published in 1880. Intricately detailed and beautifully rendered, the engraving depicts various gods and avatars associated with Vishnu. Each figure exudes power and grace as they stand tall amidst a backdrop that hints at ancient battles and mythical realms. The presence of an axe or battleaxe held by one deity suggests a connection to warfare or defense. One intriguing element within this composition is the portrayal of a dwarf-like figure among these majestic beings. This representation may symbolize deformity or illness, reminding viewers of the imperfections present even among divine entities. It serves as a poignant reminder that sickness can affect anyone, regardless of their stature or status. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness not only the grandeur but also the complexities inherent in Indian mythology and culture. It offers us a glimpse into an era where spirituality intertwined seamlessly with everyday life. As we admire this historical masterpiece, let us appreciate its artistic brilliance while acknowledging that health and well-being are universal concerns transcending time and borders.
