EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Baggage-animal, India; Black Bear shooting in the Himalayas, 1875" takes us back to the enchanting landscapes of 19th century India. The creator, G. Beste, skillfully captures a mesmerizing scene that showcases both man and beast working together harmoniously. In this image, we see a male figure using a yoke to carry earthenware pots on his shoulders while being accompanied by a magnificent black bear. The bear stands tall with its powerful presence as it assists in transporting the load through the rugged terrains of the Himalayas. This portrayal highlights not only the strength and resilience of these animals but also their integral role as pack animals during that time. The photograph provides us with a glimpse into daily life in Hindoostan (India) during this era. It offers insight into occupations and professions prevalent at that time, such as water carriers or bhistis who transported water using similar methods depicted here. The attention to detail captured by G. Beste transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the rich history and cultural practices of India's past. As we admire this remarkable print from Heritage Images' collection, we are reminded of how humans have long relied on animals for assistance and companionship throughout our shared journey on Earth.
