EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Labourers sharing rice, 1827-35" transports us back to the colonial era in South Asia. The image, a colour lithograph created by M. E. Burnouf, depicts a group of labourers gathered together to share a simple meal of rice. Their traditional dress and turbans reflect their Indian heritage, while their weary expressions reveal the hardships they endure. Squatting on the ground with burden baskets beside them, these men exemplify resilience and camaraderie amidst challenging circumstances. As they sit closely together, each person takes part in this act of communal dining - an intimate moment that speaks volumes about unity and shared experiences. The illustration is taken from L'Inde Francaise (French India), a publication by Chabrelle published between 1827 and 1835. It offers viewers an insight into the lives of servants and labourers during this time period through its portrayal of everyday scenes like this one. Through its composition and attention to detail, this artwork evokes both admiration for these hardworking individuals as well as contemplation about the impact of colonialism on their lives. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of hardship, human connection can provide solace and strength. This particular print is part of The Stapleton Collection held privately but made available for public appreciation thanks to Bridgeman Images. Its historical significance allows us to delve deeper into the complexities surrounding travel, orientalism, cultural exchange, and societal dynamics
