EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Milk Sellers, 1827-35" takes us back to the colonial era in South Asia. The image showcases a group of milk sellers, both male and female, dressed in traditional attire. The vibrant colors of their saris and turbans add an exquisite touch to the scene. The lithograph was created by M. E. Burnouf for the book "L'Inde Française" published in Paris between 1827 and 1835. It offers a glimpse into the daily lives of these itinerant milk vendors as they navigate through bustling streets carrying pots filled with fresh milk. The composition beautifully captures the essence of this trade, highlighting not only its cultural significance but also the physical burden that comes with it. The expressions on their faces reveal determination and resilience despite their challenging profession. This artwork is a testament to orientalism, showcasing French fascination with exotic cultures during this period. It serves as a visual documentation of India's rich heritage and diverse professions. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us appreciate the intricate details that bring history alive before our eyes - from the costumes worn by these sellers to every pot they carry along their journey. This photograph print truly encapsulates an important chapter in South Asian history while celebrating the beauty found within everyday life.
