EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the diverse roles and attire of Indian servants during the 19th century. Each figure represents a distinct position within the household, reflecting the hierarchical structure prevalent at that time. Starting from left to right, we see the "hukabardar" or hookah pipe bearer, responsible for ensuring a pleasurable smoking experience for their master. Next is the "caukidar" or watchman, entrusted with safeguarding the property and its inhabitants. The elegant "serkar" or steward stands tall in his regal attire, overseeing various domestic affairs. Moving on, we encounter the "jamadar" or head servant who holds significant authority among his peers. Seated prominently is the "banian" or chief servant comptroller, embodying leadership and administrative skills essential for managing household operations efficiently. Lastly, we have the striking figure of a "chobdar" proudly carrying a mace as a symbol of power and protection. This individual would typically accompany high-ranking officials during ceremonial events. The hand-colored copperplate engraving beautifully captures these individuals' clothing details and intricate accessories while providing insight into their respective roles within Indian society centuries ago. This remarkable image serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation of India's social structure during this era—a testament to human diversity across cultures throughout history.
