EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a moment in time from the suburbs of Calcutta during the 1850s, as a native merchant hastens his return journey from the city in a horse-drawn carriage. The merchant, dressed in traditional Indian attire, is seen engrossed in his thoughts, oblivious to the picturesque scene unfolding around him. In stark contrast, a group of Hindu laborers take a leisurely break under the shade of a grand banyan tree. Seated on the ground, they engage in animated conversation, their focus on the hookah pipes they share, taking long, contemplative drags. The tranquility of the scene is a stark contrast to the merchant's hurried pace, highlighting the racial and socio-economic disparities of the time. The banyan tree, a symbol of strength and resilience, stands tall and proud, providing a serene refuge for the laborers. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the people in the outskirts of Calcutta during the mid-19th century, showcasing the diverse cultural landscape of India.
