EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "India Travancore Pariah Girls Victorian Period," is a vintage image from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, available through Mary Evans Prints Online. The photograph transports us back in time to the late 19th or early 20th century in the princely state of Travancore, located in southern India. The image features a group of young Pariah girls, who were traditionally considered an outcaste community in Indian society. They are dressed in Victorian-era attire, which was introduced to India during the British colonial rule. The girls wear long, full skirts, blouses with high collars, and shawls draped around their shoulders, reflecting the Western influence that permeated Indian society during that period. The girls are gathered around a lantern, which provides a warm, flickering light, creating an intimate and intriguing scene. The lantern, a common household item during the Victorian era, adds to the nostalgic and romantic feel of the photograph. The girls' expressions are filled with curiosity and wonder, as if they are sharing a secret or a story. Despite the challenges and discrimination they faced, these girls managed to embrace the Victorian fashion trend, which was a symbol of modernity and progress during that time. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the complex interplay of culture, tradition, and colonial influence in India during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The "India Travancore Pariah Girls Victorian Period" photograph is a stunning reminder of the rich history and diverse cultural heritage of India, and it invites us to reflect on the complexities of colonialism and its impact on the lives of people in the colonized world.
