Ninety-Two in the Shade - A Glimpse into Homeward Bound India
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, titled "Ninety-Two in the Shade, Sketches on Board a Steamer Homeward Bound from India" offers an intriguing snapshot of life during sea travel in 19th century India. The image, part of a private collection, was originally published as an illustration for The Graphic on September 3rd, 1892. The scene is bustling with activity and rich with detail. Indian civilians and distinguished naval officers coexist aboard the steamer as they make their way back home. Splashes of green foliage add vibrancy to the setting while a group of exhausted soldiers find respite on beds adorned with luxurious upholstered goods. Amidst this lively atmosphere, one cannot help but notice an invalid slumberer peacefully asleep amidst all the commotion. Nearby, a keeper listens attentively to his neighbor's tales from distant lands while others engage in rousing conversations or enjoy refreshing ices procured by diligent wallahs. The artist skillfully captures various aspects of Indian culture through these sketches – be it the zenana mission or glimpses into daily life such as mouth-watering chili pops enjoyed by both Indians and foreigners alike. Overall, this print provides us with a fascinating glimpse into sea travel during that era – where statistics meet personal experiences and where individuals from different walks of life come together for this homeward-bound journey from exotic India.
