EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures a moment from the India in London exhibition held at Portland Hall, Langham Place in January 1886. The photograph showcases the Indian Village, a popular attraction that brought the vibrant culture of India to Victorian London. Indian women dressed in traditional attire gracefully perform intricate dances, accompanied by the soothing strains of Indian music. The dancers' expressive movements and the rich colors of their costumes transport viewers to the exotic lands of the East. At the forefront of the scene, a young Indian child is being taught its first steps by a skilled dancer. The tender moment encapsulates the importance of preserving and passing down cultural traditions from one generation to the next. The bottom engraving adds a delightful touch to the print, further emphasizing the significance of the Indian Village as a platform for showcasing the unique customs and arts of India. The India in London exhibition was a testament to the enduring fascination with the Indian subcontinent and its rich heritage during the Victorian era. The event provided Londoners with an opportunity to experience a taste of India, from its art and culture to its people and traditions. This photograph offers a glimpse into that fascinating world, transporting us back in time and offering a window into the captivating culture of India during the late 19th century.
