EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century print, titled "A Man on a Sedan Chair," showcases a young man being carried on the shoulders of several men in traditional Indian attire. The scene takes place in Asia, likely in the region of Bihar or Hindoostan, as indicated by the ornate parasols and the embossed paper border suggestive of South East Asian influence. The man, dressed in a richly colored and intricately patterned outfit, sits comfortably in the sedan chair, a luxurious form of palanquin transport popular in the 1820s. His parasol, held aloft by an attendant, provides shade from the tropical sun. The opaque watercolor on paper captures the essence of the exotic and privileged lifestyle of the time. The group of young men, dressed in similar attire, walk along a road, likely on their way to a destination. The sedan chair, a symbol of status and wealth, allowed the man to travel in comfort and style, elevated above the common folk. This intriguing artwork, from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers a glimpse into the rich heritage of India and the fashion of the 19th century.
