EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving from "Asiatic Costumes" captures the essence of a Bihishtee or water carrier in 19th century India. The intricate details of the mushk of panee (goatskin water bag), loincloth, and turban worn by the subject are brought to life through delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors.
The Bihishtee stands tall with pride, embodying the resilience and strength required for his daily task of carrying precious water across long distances. His attire reflects both practicality and tradition, showcasing the unique fashion sense of Indian culture during this period.
The artist's skillful rendering transports us back in time to an era when such figures were an integral part of everyday life in India. The attention to detail in depicting the folds of fabric, textures of the goatskin bag, and intricacies of the turban is truly remarkable.
Through this print, we gain a glimpse into a world where water carriers played a vital role in sustaining communities and ensuring access to clean drinking water. It serves as a poignant reminder of the importance placed on such essential services throughout history.
Overall, this image is not just a representation of costume or fashion but also a tribute to those who labored tirelessly to provide for their fellow citizens in times gone by.
