EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to ancient India in 1928. A noble woman sits gracefully inside a palanquin, surrounded by the opulent beauty of her surroundings. As she burns incense, its fragrant smoke fills the air, adding an ethereal touch to the scene. Two punkhawallahs stand beside her, their turbans proudly adorning their heads as they wave large fans to keep her cool. Their presence adds a sense of servitude and devotion to the noblewoman's comfort. The print is a Smithsonian-process color reproduction of an original Art Deco masterpiece by George Barbier. It was featured in Richard le Galliennes' "Romance of Perfume" published by Hudnut in New York in 1928. This image captures not only the elegance and sophistication of ancient Indian society but also highlights the importance placed on beauty and fragrance during that time period. The woman's elaborate clothing and accessories reflect both nobility and coquetry. Through this print, we catch a glimpse into a world where transport was provided through means such as palanquins - luxurious sedan chairs carried by servants. This serves as a reminder of how societal norms have evolved over time. Overall, this stunning illustration transports us back in time while showcasing the artistry and imagination of Georges Barbier during the early twentieth century.
