EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, showcases a man named Kharal from Mooltan. Dressed in traditional attire, Kharal represents the Soonnee Mahomedan community with pride and dignity. The sepia-toned print beautifully captures every detail of his appearance. His long beard adds to his distinguished look, while his robes exude elegance and cultural significance. Holding a bamboo stick or staff firmly in hand, he emanates strength and wisdom. The composition of this portrait is striking as it presents Kharal in a three-quarter length pose against a simple backdrop. The focus remains solely on him, allowing viewers to appreciate the intricate details of his costume and facial features. As we gaze upon this image from yesteryears, we are transported back to a time when photography was still emerging as an art form. It serves as a testament to the power of capturing human diversity through visual storytelling. This print is part of "The People of India" collection by J. Forbes Watson, published in 1868. Preserved within private collections like The Stapleton Collection today, these images offer us glimpses into historical cultures that continue to shape our world today.
