EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken from The People of India published in the late 19th century, showcases a group of Goorung men from Nepal, who were renowned for their military prowess. The Goorungs were a prominent tribe in the eastern Himalayas and were often recruited into the Nepalese army due to their exceptional skills in combat and archery. The image captures the raw, unadulterated essence of the era, with the men dressed in their traditional attire, consisting of a woolen cloak and a turban. Their stern expressions and posture convey a sense of discipline and readiness, reflecting their military background. The backdrop of the photograph is a serene landscape, with architectural landmarks and structures visible in the distance. The image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Nepal during the 1800s, a time when traditional practices and values were deeply ingrained in the society. The photograph is an invaluable historical document, providing insights into the lives of the Goorung men and their role in Nepalese society during the colonial era. The use of the albumen printing process, a popular photographic technique during the 1800s, adds to the vintage appeal of the image, making it a prized possession for history enthusiasts and scholars. The photograph also offers a unique perspective on the scenery and architecture of Nepal during the 19th century, with the intricate details of the buildings and structures visible in the background. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to explore the history and culture of Nepal through the lens of a bygone era.
