EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Bailing water in time of drought, 1877" showcases a significant moment in history captured by Oscar Jean Baptiste Mallitte. The image portrays a scene from colonial India during the British Empire's reign, specifically highlighting the challenges faced by workers on an indigo plantation in Behar. In this powerful visual narrative, we witness native laborers toiling under scorching sunrays while wearing traditional loincloths. Their bodies glisten with sweat as they tirelessly bail water to combat the relentless drought that threatens their livelihoods. This snapshot offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of agricultural cultivation during this era. Mallitte's lens captures not only the physical exertion but also conveys a sense of resilience and determination among these workers. It serves as a reminder of their unwavering commitment to sustain themselves amidst challenging circumstances imposed by both nature and colonial rule. The photograph is part of Mallitte's larger body of work entitled "The Planting & Manufacture of Indigo in India". Through his photographic views, he sheds light on various aspects related to indigo production - an industry that played a crucial role within British imperialism at that time. Displayed at J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, USA, this albumen silver print continues to evoke emotions and provoke contemplation about our shared history and its impact on societies worldwide.
