EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia photo print, titled "Camel Dak, c. 1911-12" takes us back in time to the early 20th century in India. The image showcases a remarkable mail (dak) coach being pulled by a majestic camel, with an Indian driver at the helm. This unique mode of transport was captured by Moorli Dhur & Sons, a renowned photography studio that flourished around 1912. The Royal Society for Asian Affairs in London has preserved this historical gem, allowing us to marvel at the ingenuity and diversity of transportation methods from days gone by. The composition exudes an air of adventure and curiosity as we imagine the camel-drawn coach traversing vast landscapes and connecting distant communities. Through this photograph's lens, we catch a glimpse into India's rich cultural tapestry and its reliance on innovative means of communication during that era. It serves as a testament to human resilience and adaptability when faced with challenges such as delivering mail across long distances. Bridgeman Images brings this evocative piece to life once again through their fine art collection. As we gaze upon it today, let us appreciate the intricate details captured by Moorli Dhur & Sons over a century ago – reminding us of our shared history and the timeless beauty found within vintage photographs like these.
