EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph depicts an intriguing scene from the Indian subcontinent, showcasing a traditional festival procession with a carriage pulled by bulls. The image is taken from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, published in Meissen around 1835-1840. The vibrant and detailed print captures the essence of Indian culture and customs, with the carriage adorned with colorful fabrics, intricate patterns, and ornate decorations. The bulls, strong and powerful, are harnessed to the carriage, their determined expressions and muscular forms conveying the strength and endurance required for this traditional mode of transportation during festivals. The people in the print, dressed in their ethnic attire, add to the rich tapestry of the scene. Their diverse costumes, reflecting various regional influences, showcase the unique and intricate textiles, jewelry, and accessories that are integral to Indian culture. The crowd gathered around the procession, with their curious and engaged expressions, further emphasizes the communal spirit and excitement of the festival. This print, as part of Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, is a valuable ethnographic and anthropological record of the Indian subcontinent during the 19th century. It offers a glimpse into the customs, traditions, and daily life of the people, providing a window into the past and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to thrive in India today.
