EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Mehtar. (Sweeper), c1900" offers a glimpse into the daily life of an Indian man in the early 20th century. The image showcases a male Mehtar, or sweeper, diligently performing his job on a vibrant street in India. Dressed in traditional attire, he wears a colorful turban and dons an intricate headdress that adds to his unique appearance. With a basket by his side and brush in hand, this hardworking individual is seen knocking at the door of one of the nearby buildings. His occupation as a sweeper involves maintaining cleanliness and tidiness within the community. This photograph beautifully captures both his dedication to his profession and the rich cultural heritage of India. The tinted effect applied to this print enhances its visual appeal, adding depth and dimension to every detail captured by Moorli Dhur & Sons - Ambala's skilled photographers around 1900. The composition highlights not only the mehtar himself but also provides insight into everyday life during that era. As we admire this historical snapshot from The Print Collector collection, let us appreciate the significance of individuals like him who played vital roles in shaping their communities through their dedicated workmanship.
