Madras Esplanade Circa: 1910 in Copper Repousse Monochrome

Step back into the elegance of colonial-era Madras with "Madras Esplanade Circa 1910 (Monochrome)," a beautifully handcrafted Copper Image Transfer artwork that captures one of the city's most iconic streets in a timeless monochrome composition. Featuring the historic Esplanade, today's NSC Bose Road, this artwork evokes an era of grand colonial architecture, electric trams, horse-drawn carriages, and leisurely city life, preserving a remarkable chapter in the history of Chennai.

Created using a specialised copper image transfer technique, the archival photograph is permanently transferred onto a polished copper sheet through a meticulous multi-stage artisan process. The monochrome imagery, paired with the warm metallic glow of copper, creates a striking contrast that enhances architectural details while lending the artwork an elegant vintage character. As copper naturally develops a rich patina over time, each piece gains even greater depth and individuality.

Professionally framed and ready to display, this handcrafted artwork is an exceptional addition to luxury homes, executive offices, heritage hotels, libraries, restaurants, and boutique commercial spaces. Whether showcased individually or alongside other historic Indian cityscapes, it offers a sophisticated blend of history, craftsmanship, and timeless design.

About Copper Image Transfer

Copper image transfer is a traditional artisan process in which carefully restored archival photographs are permanently transferred and etched onto polished copper sheets.
