EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Poor People, 1827-35" takes us back in time to the colonial era, specifically South Asia. The artist behind this colourful lithograph is M. E. Burnouf, who beautifully captures the essence of poverty and domestic life during this period. Intriguingly detailed, the illustration showcases a family living in hardship within their humble tent. The viewer's gaze is immediately drawn to a young child sitting on the ground, surrounded by rats symbolizing destitution and struggle. The child's innocent expression tugs at our heartstrings as we contemplate their difficult circumstances. The image also highlights traditional dress worn by both male and female figures, providing an insight into cultural practices prevalent in India at that time. This portrayal adds depth to the artwork by incorporating elements of orientalism and travel. Taken from L'Inde Française - a publication by Otten - this piece serves as an important historical document depicting social inequality and economic disparity faced by poor communities in South Asia during the early 19th century. As we observe this thought-provoking print from Bridgeman Images' Stapleton Collection, it reminds us of the resilience displayed by individuals enduring challenging circumstances throughout history. It prompts reflection on issues such as poverty and invites us to consider how far society has come since then.
