EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving captures a moment of opulence and tradition in 19th century India. A Native lady is seen riding in her curtained palkee, a luxurious mode of transportation borne by two servants dressed in loincloth and turban. The intricate details of the costumes and the elaborate design of the palanquin showcase the wealth and status of the lady being transported.
The image is part of ""Asiatic Costumes"" collection by Ackermann, London, dating back to 1828. It offers a glimpse into the fashion and customs of that era, highlighting the fusion of Eastern elegance with Western artistic techniques.
The composition exudes a sense of exoticism and grandeur, reflecting the romanticized view that Europeans held towards Asian cultures during this period. The vibrant colors used in the handcolouring process add to the allure of this scene, drawing viewers into a world filled with mystery and beauty.
Through this print, we are invited to step back in time and witness a moment frozen in history - a moment where tradition meets modernity, where luxury intertwines with simplicity. It serves as a reminder of the rich tapestry of human experience that spans across continents and centuries.
