EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the mesmerizing scene of a snake charmer at work in Jeypore, India during the late 1890s. The charmer, dressed in traditional attire, sits in a calm and focused position, blowing into a long pipe as he coaxes a cobra towards him. The snake, with its hooded head and fixed gaze, appears ready to strike, adding an air of danger and intrigue to the scene. Beside the charmer, a young boy sits cross-legged, holding two more snakes in baskets. His expression is one of awe and fascination, as he watches the charmer's every move. The basket in front of the charmer is filled with more snakes, creating a tangled mass of serpents. This photograph is a captivating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of India during the late 19th century. Snake charming was a popular form of entertainment in India, and charmers like this one traveled from village to village, performing for crowds of people. The use of music, pipes, and baskets was believed to hypnotize the snakes, making them less aggressive and easier to handle. The photograph is part of the Boswell Collection, a vast archive of historical lantern slides that offer a unique window into the past. The slide number for this image is 291, and it is a reminder of the magical and mysterious world that once existed in India, a world that continues to captivate and intrigue us today.
