EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Dame de Bombay et sa fille" showcases the rich cultural diversity of India in the 19th century. The artwork, created by an anonymous European School artist, is a beautiful illustration for Louis Figuier's book "Les Races Humaines" published by Hachette in 1872. The print depicts a mother and her daughter dressed in traditional Indian attire, representing the vibrant ethnic tapestry of Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay). The intricate details of their clothing highlight the unique fashion styles prevalent among different communities within India. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this engraving also raises important questions about race and stereotypes. It serves as a reminder that humanity encompasses various races and ethnicities, each with its own distinct characteristics and traditions.
