EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Christian Converts, Bombay" takes us back to the vibrant streets of 19th century Mumbai, India. Captured by Lieutenant C. B. Low, this image is part of a series called "Notes on Bombay and the Malabar Coast" which offers a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of the region. In this particular scene, we see a group of Indian women dressed in traditional attire known as saris and dupattas. Their elegant clothing reflects their deep-rooted connection to their heritage and religious beliefs. These women are Christian converts, embracing a new faith while still honoring their cultural traditions. The photographer's lens beautifully captures the essence of these women's lives - their occupation, profession, and daily routines remain unknown but intriguingly hinted at through their expressions and body language. The image transports us to an era where religion played a significant role in shaping people's identities. Published by Cassell Petter Galpin Company in London during the late 19th century, this photograph is part of Henry Walter Bates' Illustrated Travels collection. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation that allows us to appreciate the diversity within India's society during that time. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing portrait frozen in time, we are reminded of how culture intertwines with religion to create unique narratives that shape our world today.
