EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Pahoree por Battery" by Felice Beato takes us back to the vibrant streets of Delhi, India in 1858. The English-born Italian photographer, Beato, masterfully captures a moment frozen in time with his albumen silver print technique. The image showcases an intriguing scene from the bustling city, where a group of pahorees (soldiers) stand guard near a battery. Their stoic expressions and uniformed attire evoke a sense of duty and strength. It is evident that this photograph was taken during a significant period in Indian history when British colonial rule was firmly established. Beato's attention to detail is remarkable as he skillfully composes the shot, capturing not only the soldiers but also the surrounding architecture and landscape. The play of light and shadow adds depth to the composition while highlighting intricate architectural details. This print from Liszt Collection serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation. It allows us to glimpse into Delhi's past, offering insights into its rich cultural heritage and complex political climate during that era.
