EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of daily life in Fyzabad, India during the late 1890s. The image shows a young girl, adorned with a nose ring, sitting on the ground and fitting bangles and bracelets onto the wrist of a baby. A crouching figure, possibly the baby's mother, looks on approvingly from behind. The scene is set against a backdrop of a large pile of intricately designed bangles and bracelets, strung together into sets, which suggest the rich cultural traditions of India. Another woman and child can be seen standing in the background, adding to the bustling atmosphere of the image. This photograph, part of the Boswell Collection, offers a glimpse into the past and provides a window into the daily rituals and customs of India during the late 19th century. The intricate details and the warm connection between the subjects and the baby make this a captivating and timeless image.
