EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving from 1828 depicts a European woman being carried in a tonjon, or ladies carriage, by Indian bearers dressed in loincloths. The scene is completed by an umbrella carrier attending to the woman's needs. The intricate details of the costumes and the cultural exchange between East and West are beautifully captured in this artwork.
The image evokes a sense of exoticism and colonial power dynamics, with the European woman being transported through the streets of India by local bearers. It reflects the imperialist attitudes of the time, where Western travelers often relied on indigenous people for transportation and other services.
The contrast between the elegant carriage and attire of the European woman and the simplicity of the Indian bearers' clothing highlights societal hierarchies and disparities in wealth and privilege. The presence of an umbrella carrier further emphasizes these differences in status.
Overall, this print serves as a fascinating glimpse into 19th-century Asiatic cultures and fashions, showcasing both the beauty of traditional Indian dress and customs as well as the influence of Western imperialism on global societies.
