EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century vintage photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, depicts a regal woman being carried through the bustling streets of India in a grand carrying chair or sedan chair, accompanied by a team of porters. Dressed in elegant clothing, the woman appears to be on a leisurely tour of the exotic land, taking in the sights and sounds of a foreign culture. The sedan chair, a common mode of transportation during this era, was carried by a team of skilled porters, who balanced the chair on their shoulders and moved it with ease. The image offers a glimpse into the early days of international travel and commerce, as well as the unique occupations and trades that thrived during this time. The use of the albumen or collodion process, a popular photographic technique during the 1800s, adds to the vintage feel of the photograph, transporting us back in time to an era of grandeur and wonder. The image also highlights the rich ethnic diversity of India, showcasing the beautiful clothes and traditions of the people, making it a fascinating historical document and a must-have for any collection of vintage photographs.
