EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Indian Section of the Colonial and Indian Exhibition" takes us back to 19th century London, where a grand display of Indian culture was showcased. The image captures the essence of colonialism, as it represents both the colonizers and the native Indians. In the foreground, we see a group of Indians in traditional dress, proudly represented in their economic court. A Sikh chief stands tall, exuding authority and strength. Beside him is a Bhil man and woman, showcasing the diversity within India's indigenous communities. The exhibition itself is depicted in great detail; models of architectural marvels from different regions of India are on display. Bamboo trophies stand as symbols of victory and achievement. Visitors can be seen admiring these intricate creations while immersing themselves in Indian culture. "The Indian Section" serves as a visual reminder of how colonial powers sought to showcase their dominance over subject nations through exhibitions like these. It also highlights how indigenous cultures were commodified for entertainment purposes. As we gaze upon this historical print by Bridgeman Images, let us reflect on the complex dynamics between colonizer and colonized that shaped our world then –and continue to impact it today
