EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Sowing with drills, 1877" captures a significant moment in the history of British imperialism in India. Taken by Oscar Jean Baptiste Mallitte, this albumen silver print showcases the process of indigo cultivation during that era. The image portrays a scene from an indigo plantation in Behar, India. In the foreground, workers dressed in traditional loincloths diligently sow seeds using drills under the watchful eye of an overseer. The presence of colonial influence is evident through the attire worn by some individuals - pith helmets symbolizing British authority. The vast fields stretch into the distance, highlighting both the scale and importance of agriculture within this colonial industry. Bullocks can be seen pulling plows as they assist in preparing the soil for planting. Mallitte's photograph offers us a glimpse into a time when India was under British rule and its resources were exploited for commercial gain. It serves as a reminder of how colonialism shaped not only industries but also landscapes and lives across nations. Displayed at J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, USA, this powerful image invites viewers to reflect on themes such as labor exploitation, cultural assimilation, and imperial dominance while appreciating Mallitte's skillful composition and technical prowess behind capturing this historical moment through photography.
