EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 19th century, showcases a Bunnea shopkeeper in Delhi during the British Raj. The Bunnea were a Hindu trading caste, known for their expertise in various commercial activities, particularly in textiles and grains. This image, part of the series "The People of India: A Series of Photographic Illustrations, with Descriptive Letterpress, of the Races and Tribes of Hindustan," was published under the order of Lord Canning, the Viceroy of India, in the 1860s. The photograph presents a man in his prime, dressed in traditional attire, with a serene expression on his face. He sits in front of his shop, surrounded by various merchandise, including textiles, grains, and other household items. The architecture in the background, with its grand arches and intricate details, speaks to the rich history and cultural heritage of the city. This photograph offers a glimpse into the ethnic and tribal diversity of India during the Victorian era. The Bunnea, as an indigenous people, were an integral part of the social fabric of the city, contributing significantly to the commercial activities of Delhi. The photograph also highlights the importance of tourism and travel during this era, as Europeans came to India to explore its culture, history, and people. Despite the passage of time, this photograph remains a valuable ethnographic record of the past, providing insights into the lives of the people of India during the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and diversity that continues to thrive in India, making it a must-visit destination for travelers and history enthusiasts alike.
