EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph titled "Banyas Shop, 1863" captures a fascinating glimpse into the bustling street life of Delhi during the British Raj era. Taken by Shepherd & Robertson, renowned photographers of the 1860s, this image showcases an Indian petty trader known as a Banya or Bunnea in his shop. The scene is filled with intriguing details that offer insights into the world of commerce and trade in Asia at that time. The shopkeeper can be seen squatting on the ground amidst his wares, surrounded by various goods for sale. Scales are prominently displayed, suggesting that weighing items was an essential part of his business. The composition beautifully captures both the vibrancy and simplicity of daily life in India during this period. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the image, while also emphasizing the textures and patterns found within the shop.
