EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of an Indian nursemaid, elegantly dressed in a sari, pushing a finely crafted perambulator along the waterfront of Pune, India in 1904. Pune, formerly known as Poona, was a major city in the British Raj and the second largest in the state of Maharashtra. In this image, the nursemaid, often referred to as an 'ayah,' is attending to the needs of a wealthy European family. The perambulator, a popular mode of transport for infants during the colonial era, is a symbol of the family's affluence and status. The waterfront setting adds to the serene and idyllic atmosphere of the scene. The Indian nursemaid, with her gentle expression and attentive posture, exudes a sense of care and devotion towards the baby she is tending to. This photograph offers a glimpse into the complex social dynamics of colonial India, where European families relied on Indian servants to maintain their lifestyle and uphold their social standing.
