EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Bunnea, Hindu Tradesman, Delhi" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century India. The image is part of a collection called "The People of India" by J. Forbes Watson, published in 1868. In this particular scene, we see Bunnea, a Hindu tradesman deeply engrossed in his daily business activities. Dressed in traditional attire, he sits crouched on the ground with an array of baskets neatly arranged around him. His stall showcases an assortment of goods for sale - from fruits and vegetables to spices and textiles. A customer can be seen engaging with Bunnea as they negotiate a purchase. With scales nearby to ensure fair trade, it's evident that commerce thrived even during those times. The sepia tones add a sense of nostalgia and timelessness to the photograph. The photographer skillfully captures not only the intricate details of Bunnea's shop but also provides us with a glimpse into everyday life in Delhi at that period. This oval-shaped print offers an intimate portrayal of Indian culture and highlights the importance placed on small-scale trading within local markets. Preserved within this private collection belonging to The Stapleton Collection, this remarkable albumen print allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind early photography techniques as well as gain insight into historical customs and traditions that shaped Indian society centuries ago.
