EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph print captures the essence of India in the 1950-60s. The image showcases a snake charmer, skillfully playing his flute while surrounded by an intrigued crowd. The snake charmer's traditional attire adds to the cultural richness depicted in this artwork. The MacMillan school posters were widely used for educational purposes during this era, providing students with glimpses into different parts of the world. This particular print would have been a valuable resource for geography lessons, allowing children to explore the vibrant country of India from their classrooms. The composition beautifully portrays not only the entertainment aspect but also highlights the historical significance of snake charming in Indian culture. It serves as a reminder that traditions like these have been passed down through generations, contributing to India's rich heritage. The artist behind this masterpiece is J. Macfarlane, who was active during the 1940s and played a crucial role in creating these educational posters. Today, this litho print is part of a private collection and continues to be admired for its artistic representation and historical value. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene captured decades ago, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of India's most fascinating cultural practices - snake charming.
