EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a solemn meeting between a team of travelers and the Maharajah of Chutterpore, set against the magnificent backdrop of the fair at Kajraha. The image, an engraving from Louis Rousselet's voyage in India during 1864-1868, was published in "Le tour du monde" in 1873. The scene is filled with intrigue as the group of travelers respectfully gathers on the back of an elephant while engaging in what appears to be a significant encounter with the esteemed Maharajah. The atmosphere is electric, with a bustling street scene and a crowd eagerly observing this momentous occasion. The image exudes both grandeur and humility simultaneously; it showcases the majestic presence of the elephant as well as highlighting cultural traditions and customs. It offers us a glimpse into Indian history, where encounters between royalty and foreign visitors were not only ceremonial but also held deep significance. This remarkable photograph is part of Selva Collection, capturing moments that transcend time. Through this engraving by an unknown artist from the 19th century, we are transported to another era when travel was arduous yet rewarding. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and our desire to explore new lands while fostering connections across cultures.
