EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of nighttime travel in the Punjab region during the 1850s. The photograph depicts a sedan chair, a common mode of transport for the elite during that era, being carried by bearers as it moves along a dimly lit path. The tranquility of the scene is disrupted by the presence of a musalchee or torch-bearer, who runs a few steps ahead, his torch held aloft. The torch not only illuminates the way for the travellers, but also serves as a deterrent against the wild beasts that roamed the region at night. The year is 1857, a time when the British Raj was in full swing in India. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era when travel was an adventure, and safety and comfort were luxuries that came at a premium. The torchbearer's determined stride and the dimly lit path add to the sense of mystery and intrigue, making this photograph a fascinating window into history.
