EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a woman in southern India diligently crafting patties of fuel from cow dung. Taken in the 19th century by an unknown French School artist, this rotogravure showcases the ingenuity and resourcefulness of individuals living in rural areas during that time. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured in Dr Gustave Le Bon's book "Les Civilisations de l'Inde" published in Paris in 1887. It offers a glimpse into the daily life and cultural practices prevalent at that period. In this scene, we witness the woman skillfully molding cow dung into compact patties, which would serve as an essential source of fuel for cooking and heating purposes. The use of cow dung as fuel highlights the sustainable practices employed by communities to meet their energy needs. The photograph also provides insight into traditional Indian attire worn by women during this era, showcasing their distinctive costume design. Additionally, it sheds light on the significance of firewood as a valuable material for kindling fires. Overall, this historical snapshot not only celebrates human resilience but also emphasizes the importance of adapting to one's environment while preserving cultural heritage.
