EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Life in the Tea-Districts of Bengal" takes us back to the year 1880, offering a window into the daily episodes and professions that shaped this bustling region. The engraving, created by William Ralston and now part of a private collection, originally appeared as an illustration for The Graphic on October 16th. The scene depicted is filled with activity and cultural richness. In Kurseong Bazaar, amidst horse-drawn trams and pedestrians going about their day, we witness good Samaritans engaging in medical inspections while others tirelessly sort teas. Awkward yet essential charcoal fires burn nearby as workers operate winnowing machines to process tea leaves. The image also showcases various aspects of life in these tea districts.
