EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in the bustling streets of Benares, India in 1875. In the image, a walking merchant can be seen popping cow dung, a common practice in Indian culture for various purposes such as fuel or fertilizer. The merchant's actions provide a glimpse into the daily life and commerce of this vibrant city.
The scene is filled with activity as people go about their business, creating a lively street scene that reflects the hustle and bustle of urban life in 19th century India. The presence of the merchant with his balance instrument highlights the importance of trade and commerce in this society.
The photograph not only showcases the laborious work carried out by individuals like this merchant but also gives us an insight into traditional practices and customs that have been passed down through generations. It serves as a valuable historical document capturing a moment in time that may seem outlandish to modern viewers but was an integral part of everyday life back then.
Overall, this print is not just a visual record but also a window into the rich tapestry of Indian culture and history during this period.
