EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "An Oil Merchant, 1827-35" takes us back to the colonial era in South Asia. Created by M. E. Burnouf, this colourful lithograph captures the essence of a bustling marketplace in India. The image showcases an Indian oil merchant, known as EnnaivAniyen or Marchand d'huile, carrying pots filled with precious oils. The scene is rich with cultural details and traditional attire. The merchant is adorned in a vibrant sari, reflecting the beauty of Indian fashion during that time period. This illustration was originally featured in L'Inde Francaise, a publication by Chabrelle between 1827 and 1835. Through this artwork, we are transported to a world where trades and professions were intertwined with daily life. It highlights the diversity of occupations found within Indian society at that time. Moreover, this lithograph also sheds light on Orientalism - the fascination Western societies had for Eastern cultures during the colonial era. It serves as a reminder of how travel and exploration influenced artistic representations from different parts of the world. Preserved within private collections today, this piece from The Stapleton Collection allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also its historical significance. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded of India's rich heritage and its contribution to global trade throughout history.
