EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Barbers, 1827-35" takes us back in time to the colonial era of South Asia. The image, a colour lithograph by M. E. Burnouf, showcases a group of male barbers engaged in their trade. Dressed in traditional attire and adorned with turbans, these skilled professionals are depicted meticulously attending to their clients' hair. The illustration is part of L'Inde Française, a renowned publication from Paris that offers an intriguing glimpse into French travel and Orientalism during the early 19th century. It beautifully captures the essence of Indian culture through its portrayal of barbership as an integral aspect of daily life. The attention to detail is remarkable; every blade and knife used for depilation can be seen with precision. This artwork not only highlights the craftsmanship involved in barbering but also serves as a testament to the diverse range of professions present in India at that time. As we admire this historical piece from Bridgeman Images' Stapleton Collection, it transports us back to an era where trades like barbering were celebrated and deeply rooted within society's fabric. Let this evocative print serve as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and how art has the power to preserve moments long gone by.
