Frederick Fiebig (fl.1845-55)
Panorama of Calcutta
Lithograph, panorama on six sheets, published by T.Black, Asiatic Lithographic Press, Calcutta, 1847, on thin laid down on paper and cotton backing, damage to margins and image affected by damp-staining.
overall P.302 x 2065mm.
Frederick Fiebig recorded views of Calcutta in both lithographic and photographic form in the mid-19th Century when the former medium began to be replaced by the latter. In addition to this panorama of Calcutta, Fiebig executed four other (undated) lithographs of the city, before he then produced numerous photographs in 1851.
Fiebig's lithograph is engraved from his drawing (he also executed the drawing on stone) from the viewpoint of the Ochterlony Monument, through 360, starting with the view to the South (Alipore), taking in the Strand, Cricket Ground, Town Hall, Government House, Esplanade Row across to Ghouringhee.
