EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1901 depicts a little white girl in India engaging in a scripture lesson with an Asian woman, using the aid of an illustrated bible. The scene is both historical and thought-provoking, showcasing the cultural exchange and education that took place during British colonial rule in India.
The image captures a moment of cross-cultural interaction, as the young girl shares her knowledge with the Asian woman while holding onto her illustrated bible. It reflects the complexities of travel and history during this time period, highlighting the power dynamics at play between different races and nationalities.
The innocence of the little girl juxtaposed with the seriousness of teaching scripture adds depth to this photograph, inviting viewers to ponder on themes of religion, education, and imperialism. The presence of the illustrated bible serves as a visual representation of Western influence in Eastern cultures.
Overall, this print by Mary Evans Picture Library is not just a snapshot from 1901 but also a window into a world where boundaries were blurred and connections were made through shared experiences like learning about scripture together.
