EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Parsee Lady; Notes on Bombay and the Malabar Coast, 1875" captures the essence of 19th-century India. The image showcases a beautiful Parsee woman dressed in traditional attire, accompanied by her child. The photograph was taken by Lieutenant C. B. Low, an explorer and photographer known for his documentation of various cultures. The Parsee community is well-known for their adherence to Zoroastrianism, one of the world's oldest religions. This portrait provides a glimpse into their religious customs and cultural practices through the elegant sari worn by the woman. The mother's serene expression reflects her devotion to both religion and family as she embraces her role as a parent with grace. Her clothing exemplifies the fashion trends of that era in Hindoostan (India), showcasing intricate details and patterns. Published in Illustrated Travels by H. W. Bates in London during the late 19th century, this print offers viewers a window into a different time period when occupation often determined one's attire. Through this image, we are transported back to an era where tradition blended seamlessly with modernity. It serves as a reminder of the rich heritage that continues to shape Indian society today while honoring Lieutenant C. B. Low's dedication to capturing diverse cultures through his lens.
