EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "A Mahratta woman carrying fuel (ooplees), India, 1870 circa" offers a glimpse into the daily life of an Indian woman during the late 19th century. Captured by Captain Cornelius Francis James, a member of the Bombay Staff Corps, this watercolor painting showcases the rich cultural heritage and resilience of Indian women. In this image, we see a Mahratta woman gracefully balancing a basket filled with ooplees on her head. Ooplees are bricks of fuel made from dried cow dung—a common source of energy in rural areas of India at that time. This depiction highlights the resourcefulness and strength exhibited by women in their everyday tasks. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life the bustling cityscape of Mumbai (formerly known as Bombay) in all its glory. The artist's keen eye for capturing authentic moments allows us to immerse ourselves in this snapshot from history. This artwork is part of a larger collection that beautifully portrays various aspects of Indian daily life. It serves as a testament to the diversity and vibrancy found within Indian society. As we admire this remarkable piece, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also acknowledge the significant role played by women like her who contributed to their communities through their laborious work.
