EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Hindoo Girl; Black Bear shooting in the Himalayas, 1875" takes us back to the enchanting landscapes of 19th-century India. The image showcases an Indian woman adorned with traditional jewelry and clothing, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Hindoostan. The woman's attire is resplendent with intricate details - from her nose ring and bangles to her anklets and finger rings. Her elegant blouse, choli, and flowing dupatta add grace to her overall appearance. With bare feet firmly planted on the ground, she exudes strength and resilience. Photographer G. Beste skillfully captures not only the physical beauty of this Hindoo girl but also hints at her occupation or profession as a bear shooter in the Himalayas. This unusual combination adds intrigue to the image, inviting viewers to ponder about her life story. The print is part of Henry Walter Bates' Illustrated Travels series published by Cassell Petter Galpin & Co in London around 1880. It serves as a testament to both Bates' exploration of distant lands and Beste's talent for capturing moments frozen in time. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait from another era, we are reminded that fashion may change over time but culture endures through generations. This Hindoo girl stands proudly as a symbol of tradition amidst ever-changing times—a timeless reminder of India's diverse religious customs and vibrant heritage.
