EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene of daily life in southern India during the 19th century. In this rotogravure, we see a woman diligently grinding rice into flour, showcasing the traditional food preparation methods of that era. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured in Dr Gustave Le Bon's book, "Les Civilisations de l'Inde" published in Paris in 1887. The woman depicted exudes grace and femininity as she engages in this essential task. Her attire, consisting of a saree or frock, reflects the cultural dress of Indian women at that time. This engraving provides us with valuable insights into the clothing styles and customs prevalent during the period. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this image serves as a historical document highlighting India's rich cultural heritage. It sheds light on the significance of rice as a staple food source for generations and showcases the importance placed on self-sufficiency when it came to sustenance. With meticulous detail captured by an unknown engraver from the French School, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into India's past through artistry and botanical elements such as maize or corn crops visible in the background. Overall, this photograph invites us to appreciate both its artistic value and its role as an educational tool for understanding history, culture, costume, botany, agriculture practices, and more within southern India during the 19th century.
