EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a diverse group of Hindu individuals from various castes, providing a glimpse into the social fabric of 19th century India. At the forefront stands a family of vaysias, or traders, gathered at the foot of a majestic tree. Their confident and prosperous demeanor reflects their esteemed position in society. In contrast, two women belonging to the sudras caste can be seen nearby. As servants, they carry out their duties with grace and humility. The image beautifully portrays the stark differences in social status within Indian society during this time period. Further in the distance, an imposing figure emerges - a man representing the Kshatrias caste. This caste traditionally held positions as princes or administrators and were responsible for governing regions. His presence adds an air of authority and power to the scene. The engraving was created by Alfred Grandidier as part of his voyage through southern provinces of India between 1862-1864. Published in "le tour du monde" under D Edouard Charton's direction in 1869, it offers viewers an invaluable insight into Indian culture during that era. Preserved within Leonard de Selva's private collection, this photograph serves as both a historical artifact and testament to India's rich cultural diversity. It reminds us how societal structures have evolved over time while highlighting the enduring beauty found within different castes and communities across India's vast landscape.
