EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Nim - a Siamese grandmother, Bangkok, 1898" transports us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century Thailand. Created by Christian Wilhelm Allers as part of his illustrated book "Rund um die Erde" (Round the Earth), this portrait captures the essence of an elderly woman with a shaved head. Intriguingly, Nim's profile reveals a lifetime of wisdom etched onto her face. Her piercing gaze suggests a depth of experience and resilience that only comes with age. The absence of hair accentuates her features, drawing our attention to her expressive eyes and weathered skin. As we delve into this image further, we notice Nim holding an intricately designed fan in one hand while clutching a book in the other. These objects hint at her love for literature and artistry – passions that have undoubtedly enriched her life. The artist's masterful use of black and white adds an air of timelessness to this print. It allows us to appreciate every delicate detail on Nim's face while evoking nostalgia for a bygone era. "Nim - A Siamese Grandmother" is not just a portrait; it is an invitation to explore history through the lens of one remarkable individual. Through Allers' skilled brushstrokes, we are transported across continents and centuries, connecting us with humanity's shared stories.
