EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Pressing the fecula, 1877" takes us back in time to witness a crucial moment in India's indigo industry. Captured by Oscar Jean Baptiste Mallitte, this albumen silver print showcases Plate 15 from his renowned work, "The Planting & Manufacture of Indigo in India". In this image, we find ourselves immersed in a bustling factory colony where workers diligently press the precious fecula. The overseer stands tall, overseeing the process with authority and precision. The native laborers clad in traditional loincloths showcase their resilience and dedication as they contribute to the British Empire's indigo trade. This photograph not only captures a pivotal moment but also symbolizes colonialism and imperialism at its height. It serves as a visual representation of the complex dynamics between British rule and Indian agriculture during that era. Mallitte's lens transports us to Behar, India – an epicenter for indigo cultivation – where pressing indigo became an industrial endeavor under British influence. The image highlights both the immense effort put into manufacturing this valuable dye and the impact of British imperialism on Indian industry. As we gaze upon this historic scene frozen in time, we are reminded of how photography can preserve significant moments that shape our understanding of commerce, culture, and colonial history. Oscar Mallitte's skillful composition allows us to delve into an era marked by agricultural innovation within the context of imperial power dynamics - making it a truly remarkable piece captured through his lens
