EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in the bustling Bombay cotton market during the 19th century. The image showcases Parsi dealers and merchants engrossed in conversation, their traditional costumes adding an air of authenticity to the scene. This engraving was created by an unknown artist as part of Alfred Grandidier's voyage through the meridional provinces of India between 1862 and 1864. The photograph offers a glimpse into the vibrant commerce that took place at this renowned market, where Japanese traders also played a significant role. The delicate balance between buyers and sellers is evident, as these astute merchants negotiate deals amidst stacks of cotton bales. Published in "Le tour du monde" in 1869, edited by Edouard Charton and published by Hachette in Paris, this engraving is now part of the Selva Collection. Leonard de Selva has skillfully captured this historical moment with his camera lens, preserving it for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back in time to witness the energy and dynamism that characterized trade at one of India's most important cotton markets. It serves as a reminder of how commerce has shaped societies throughout history while celebrating the diversity and cultural exchange that occurred within these bustling marketplaces.
