EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Servant, 1827-35" by M. E. Burnouf takes us back to the colonial era in South Asia. The image showcases a group of individuals dressed in traditional attire, providing a glimpse into the lives of servants during that time. The focal point of the picture is a female servant named Shondra or Serviteur, as mentioned in L'Inde Francaise, an illustrated book published in Paris between 1827 and 1835. She stands gracefully with an infant cradled in her arms while surrounded by other members of her village community. The artist's use of color lithography brings out the vibrant hues of their clothing, particularly the intricate saris worn by these women. This illustration not only captures their distinctive fashion but also highlights the cultural diversity and influence prevalent in French colonial India. Through this artwork, we are transported to a different era where travel and exploration were celebrated. It serves as a reminder of how art can bridge geographical boundaries and provide insight into historical contexts. As part of The Stapleton Collection housed within a private collection, this piece offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both its artistic merit and its significance as a visual representation of life during this period.
