EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back to the late 19th century in Baroda, India. The image showcases a group of Baroda Nautch Girls, professional dancers renowned for their intricate traditional dance performances. The girls are adorned in exquisite costumes that reflect the rich cultural heritage of India. Their graceful movements are accentuated by the jingling sound of bracelets and anklets adorning their feet. With every step they take, these talented dancers bring life to the ancient art form of Nautch dancing. Their barefoot elegance adds an exotic touch to this mesmerizing scene, as they effortlessly glide across the floor with poise and grace. Each dancer exudes confidence and skill as they showcase their talent through ballet-like poses. The photographer, Vernon & Co. , based in Bombay at that time, has beautifully captured this moment frozen in time on an albumen print. This delicate technique enhances the details and textures within the image, allowing us to appreciate every intricate element of these stunning performers. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from a private collection, we are reminded of the beauty and diversity found within Indian culture. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of traditional dance forms like Nautch dancing which continue to captivate audiences around the world today.
