EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "An old woman of high caste, 1827-35" takes us back to the colonial era in South Asia. The image showcases a dignified elderly woman belonging to a high caste, beautifully adorned in traditional attire and jewelry. Her regal presence is enhanced by her intricate sari, elegantly draped around her body, and complemented by a vibrant shawl. The attention to detail in this colour lithograph is remarkable; every fold of fabric and sparkle of jewelry has been captured with precision. The artist, M. E. Burnouf, skillfully brings out the essence of orientalism through his portrayal of this Indian woman. Her aged face tells stories untold - wisdom gained over years lived within the confines of societal expectations. A bindi spot adorns her forehead, symbolizing her marital status and cultural heritage. The earrings she wears are exquisite pieces that reflect both tradition and opulence. As we gaze upon this portrait from the past, we are transported into an era where customs prevailed and beauty was celebrated differently than today. This illustration comes from L'Inde Francaise (French India), published between 1827-35 by Chabrelle in Paris. Intriguingly nostalgic yet timeless, this print captures not just an individual but also serves as a window into the rich tapestry of Indian culture during colonial times.
