"Benares No.1" is an etching created by the renowned British artist Ernest Stephen Lumsden in the early 20th century. Lumsden, who was born in 1883 and passed away in 1948, is celebrated for his detailed and evocative etchings, many of which capture the essence of various locales he visited during his extensive travels. "Benares No.1" is a prime example of his work, reflecting his fascination with the Indian subcontinent and its rich cultural heritage.

The etching depicts a scene from Varanasi, also known as Benares, one of the oldest and most sacred cities in India. Varanasi is situated on the banks of the Ganges River and is a significant cultural and religious hub, particularly for Hindus. Lumsden's etching captures the bustling life along the ghats (riverfront steps leading to the banks of the Ganges), where pilgrims and locals engage in daily rituals and activities.

Lumsden's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey the atmosphere of the place are evident in "Benares No.1". The composition likely includes intricate architectural elements, the flowing river, and the diverse array of people who inhabit the scene. His use of light and shadow, along with his precise line work, brings the etching to life, offering viewers a glimpse into the vibrant and spiritual world of Varanasi.

Ernest Stephen Lumsden was not only an artist but also an influential figure in the printmaking community. He authored "The Art of Etching," a comprehensive guide that remains a valuable resource for artists and enthusiasts. His works, including "Benares No.1," are held in high regard and are part of various public and private collections, showcasing his contribution to the art of etching and his ability to capture the essence of the places he visited.
