EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white portrait, we are transported back to the year 1902 in Nepal, where a Nepalese family of Gurkha descent is captured by the talented artists at Kapp & Co. The photograph belongs to "The Living Races of Mankind" series, published by Hutchinson & Co in London. Seated gracefully on the ground, the family exudes an air of dignity and unity. The women wear traditional costumes that reflect their Asian heritage, while the children sit close to their mother, displaying a sense of warmth and affection. Their faces carry traces of resilience and strength that have been passed down through generations. This image provides us with a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of Nepal during the early 20th century. It serves as a reminder of how families form the backbone of society across continents and centuries alike. The Gurkhas hold a significant place in history as renowned soldiers known for their bravery and loyalty. Preserved through time, this monochrome print allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its ethnographic significance. As we delve into this mesmerizing portrait from Heritage Images' collection curated by Print Collector29, we are invited to explore different dimensions such as ethnicity, race, and location within our global community. Let this photograph transport you back in time as you witness the beauty and diversity found within one Nepalese family's story etched forever onto paper.
