EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Drying house (indigo cakes on shelves), 1877" takes us back in time to the colonial era in India. The image showcases a bustling indigo factory, where native workers diligently dry indigo cakes on wooden shelves. The scene exudes an air of industry and productivity as we witness the intricate process of manufacturing this vibrant dye. It is evident that this plantation played a significant role in the British Empire's commerce and imperial pursuits during that period. The photograph offers a glimpse into the agricultural practices of the time, highlighting the cultivation and harvesting of indigo crops. The workers, both Indian and British, can be seen collaborating in this labor-intensive task. Oscar Jean Baptiste Mallitte skillfully captures not only the physicality of drying indigo cakes but also conveys a sense of cultural exchange between colonizers and natives. This visual documentation serves as a testament to British imperialism's impact on India's economy and industrial development. Through Mallitte's lens, we are transported to Allahabad in 1877 when indigo production was at its peak. This remarkable albumen silver print provides valuable insight into an important chapter in India's history – one marked by agriculture, colonialism, trade, and collaboration between different communities within the context of empire-building.
