EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a group of Korkoos, an Aboriginal tribe from Berar, India. Taken in 1868 by an English photographer named J. Forbes Watson, this sepia-toned print showcases the rich cultural heritage of these indigenous people. In the image, we see several tribesmen standing proudly in their traditional dress against a picturesque outdoor backdrop. The intricate details of their attire are beautifully highlighted in this monochromatic composition. One cannot help but be drawn to the striking horns adorning one man's head, reminiscent of a bull's majestic presence. The photo provides us with a glimpse into the lives and customs of the Korkoos tribe during that era. It serves as a testament to their resilience and unique identity within Indian society. Preserved in a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection, this albumen print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both the artistry behind early photography techniques and the beauty found within diverse cultures around the world. As we delve into history through images like these, it is important to acknowledge and respect the significance of such documentation without exploiting or commercializing it. This particular photograph reminds us of our shared humanity while honoring the individuality and heritage of those depicted within its frame.
