EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Juggernaut Car, Madras, 1850s" takes us back to the vibrant streets of Madras in the 19th century. Created by Frederick Fiebig, a German photographer known for his remarkable documentation of Indian culture and heritage, this image captures a significant aspect of Hinduism in India. The Juggernaut Car depicted here is an iconic symbol of religious devotion and transportation during that time. Pulled by men through the bustling roads of Chennai (formerly known as Madras), this cart carried devotees on their pilgrimage to various temples. The sheer size and intricacy of the Juggernaut Car are awe-inspiring, reflecting both the grandeur and spiritual significance attached to it. Fiebig's expertise in capturing details shines through in this salted paper print from a paper negative. The monochromatic tones add depth and evoke nostalgia for a bygone era. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost feel ourselves transported back to witness the scene firsthand - witnessing the dedication etched on people's faces as they embark on their religious journey. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this photograph serves as a testament to Fiebig's talent as well as an invaluable historical record. It allows us to appreciate not only his artistic skill but also provides insight into India's rich cultural tapestry during one of its most transformative periods.
