EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Costumes of Western India, woman of the Carnatic," dates back to the year 1876. The image showcases a woman in "ordinary attire" belonging to the humbler orders of native society, as described in the caption from the "Illustrated London News." The woman is depicted in a full-length pose, wearing a traditional Indian sari. Her bare feet are visible, adding to the authenticity of the scene. The print, which is engraved, was copied by permission from a collection of drawings in the Museum of the India Government Office. The image offers a glimpse into the rich and diverse cultural heritage of India during the 19th century. The woman's body is adorned with intricate jewelry and decorations, adding to the allure of the print. The location of the photograph is not explicitly stated, but it is believed to be from the Carnatic region of India, which is now a part of the modern-day Tamil Nadu state in southern India. The print provides a fascinating insight into the traditional clothing and fashion of the time, offering a window into the past. The print, which is both historically and culturally significant, is a testament to the enduring appeal of traditional Indian costumes and the art of engraving. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that exists in India and the importance of preserving and celebrating it.
