EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia photograph, titled "Bheesties, Mussulmans, Delhi" captures a moment frozen in time from the 19th century. Taken by an English photographer and published in 1868 as part of The People of India series by J. Forbes Watson, this albumen print offers a glimpse into the lives of Indian vendors and workers. In the image, a group of Muslim men dressed in traditional attire can be seen engaging in their daily activities. Among them is a water seller or bheesti, carrying large earthen pots on his shoulder with remarkable ease. His presence adds an element of movement to the otherwise still scene. The sepia tones lend a sense of nostalgia to this photograph, evoking emotions that transport us back to another era. The composition beautifully showcases the unity within diversity as these individuals come together for their common purpose. This print not only documents historical moments but also serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage found in Delhi during that time period. It reminds us that even amidst bustling marketplaces and laborious work routines, there exists beauty worth capturing. Displayed proudly in private collections today, this image continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm and provides valuable insight into the lives and traditions of Indians from long ago.
