EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from the Liszt Collection transports us back to Allahabad, India in 1877. The image showcases an intriguing scene titled "Indigo boilers fecula table" captured by Oscar Mallitte, a British photographer known for his work during the 1870s in Allahabad. The composition of this albumen silver print is both striking and thought-provoking. In the foreground, we see a group of indigo boilers diligently tending to their tasks at a fecula table. Their focused expressions and meticulous movements suggest the importance of their work within the indigo industry that thrived in colonial India during this period. Mallitte's keen eye for detail is evident as he skillfully captures every aspect of this bustling scene. From the steam rising from boiling vats to the texture of workers' clothing, each element adds depth and authenticity to the photograph. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, it serves as a reminder of not only Mallitte's talent but also sheds light on an important era in Indian history. This image allows us to glimpse into daily life during British rule while highlighting significant industries like indigo production that played a crucial role in shaping local economies. With its rich historical context and artistic merit, this albumen silver print truly captivates viewers with its ability to transport them back in time to witness a moment frozen forever through Mallitte's lens.
