EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of portraits depicting the diverse castes in India during the 19th century. The image captures the rich cultural heritage and social hierarchy prevalent at that time. The first two portraits highlight Brahmins, who were revered as priests and intellectuals in Indian society. Their serene expressions exude wisdom and spirituality. Following them are Kshatriyas or Khatri, representing the warrior caste known for their bravery and leadership qualities. The third and fourth portraits depict members of the Punjabi mercantile caste, showcasing their entrepreneurial spirit and business acumen. They wear traditional attire that reflects their regional identity. Next come Vaisyas, representative of the agricultural community, with images portraying hardworking individuals engaged in farming activities. Sudras follow suit, symbolizing laborers and artisans who contributed to various trades across India. Moving forward are Hindus from Upper India whose distinct features reflect their regional diversity within Hinduism. Lastly, we encounter Mughals - rulers from Central Asia who established a powerful empire in India during medieval times. Handcolored copperplate engravings by Andrea Bernieri after Francois Solvyns bring these historical figures to life with intricate details and vibrant colors. This artwork is part of Giulio Ferrario's renowned publication "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all Peoples of the World" which provides valuable insights into global cultures. Through this photo print, viewers can embark on a visual journey through time to explore different Indian castes while appreciating their unique contributions to society.
