EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a Mahratta woman from Western India, dressed in her "ordinary attire," as described in the caption from the "Illustrated London News" in 1876. The image, which was copied by permission from a collection of drawings in the Museum of the India Government Office, showcases the woman in a full-length profile view, with her bare feet firmly planted on the ground. The woman wears a simple yet elegant sari, which is a traditional garment for women in India. Her body is adorned with intricate jewelry, including a necklace, earrings, and bangles, adding to the beauty and grace of her appearance. The Mahratta people, also known as Marathi, are an ethno-linguistic group native to Maharashtra, a state in western India. This photograph offers a glimpse into the fashion and apparel of the 19th century, providing insights into the traditional dress and customs of the region. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of India and the importance of preserving and celebrating the diverse and unique traditions of its people. The print, which is both engraved and a work of art, is a valuable addition to any collection of historical photographs or art. The woman in the print exudes a quiet dignity and strength, reflecting the resilience and grace of the Mahratta people. Her bare feet, which are a common feature of traditional Indian dress, are a reminder of the deep connection between the people and the land they inhabit. The image is a poignant reminder of the past, transporting us back in time to a world that is both familiar and foreign, and inviting us to appreciate the beauty and diversity of human culture.
