EDITORS COMMENTS
INDIA: MAP, 19th CENTURY. A fascinating glimpse into India's diverse tapestry of cultures and identities is captured in this vintage map print. Created by Sir Herbert Hope Risley, a prominent ethnologist of the time, it showcases his pioneering work in classifying the Indian population into seven distinct categories. As colonialism swept across the subcontinent, this map serves as a reminder of the British Empire's influence on India during the 19th century. The English presence is evident not only through their territorial control but also in their efforts to understand and categorize the indigenous people. The intricate details of rivers and geographical features provide a visual backdrop to Risley's ethnological classifications. This map becomes an invaluable resource for historians and scholars studying India's complex social fabric during that era. Beyond its historical significance, this print invites us to reflect on how colonial rule shaped India's identity and cultural landscape. It prompts us to question notions of power dynamics between colonizers and colonized while acknowledging the resilience and diversity that define Indian society even today. Displayed proudly on any wall or study space, this Granger Collection artwork sparks conversations about imperialism, ethnicity, and national identity. It stands as a testament to both Sir Herbert Hope Risley's groundbreaking research as well as India's enduring spirit.
