EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Typical Baluch" takes us back to the early 20th century, during the British Empire's rule in India. The image, a colour lithograph by Mortimer Ludington Menpes, showcases a member of the Baluch community in all their traditional glory. The Baluch man depicted here stands proudly with his striking attire and intricate accessories. His vibrant clothing reflects the rich cultural heritage of this ethnic group from Asia. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable, capturing every fold and pattern on his garments. This print was created as an illustration for "The Durbar" a book written by Dorothy Menpes and illustrated by Mortimer Menpes. It documents the grand durbar held in 1903 to celebrate Edward VII and Alexandra of Denmark's ascension as Emperor and Empress of India. Through this image, we catch a glimpse into Indian culture at that time – its diversity, traditions, and customs. It serves as a reminder of the vastness of Asian cultures within the British Empire. Preserved in private collections today, this print continues to be admired for its historical significance and artistic beauty. Bridgeman Images has brought it back to life through Fine Art Finder so that we may appreciate this snapshot from an era long gone but not forgotten.
