EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Rangani, a remarkable litter bearer from the colonial era in South Asia. Created by M. E. Burnouf, this vibrant colour lithograph captures the essence of Rangani's traditional dress and his significant role as a palanquin porter. With his distinguished moustache and French-inspired attire, Rangani stands proudly in this portrait, representing the fusion of cultures during that time period. The illustration is taken from L'Inde Francaise, a renowned publication by Chabrelle between 1827-35. The image not only highlights Rangani's individuality but also sheds light on the broader themes of orientalism and cultural exchange prevalent during this era. The turban adorning his head symbolizes his Indian heritage while reflecting the rich diversity found within South Asian communities. As part of The Stapleton Collection housed in a private collection, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into history and explore different aspects of life in India at that time. It serves as a visual reminder of the intricate tapestry woven by various cultures coming together. Whether displayed for historical or artistic purposes, this illustration invites us to appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and its significance as an emblematic representation of colonial-era India.
