EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'European Gentleman dressing, attended by his Head-Bearer and other servants' (Plate 4 of 20), dates back to the Regency era of 1813. The photograph depicts a European gentleman in the comfort of his colonial abode, preparing for the day ahead, surrounded by his devoted staff. The room is adorned with elegant European furnishings, including a grand dresser, a basin for washing, and a regal gown hanging nearby. The European gentleman, dressed in fashionable attire, is seated in a chair, engrossed in the mirror as he adjusts his cravat. His Head-Bearer, an Indian servant, stands attentively behind him, holding a towel and a pair of shoes. Two other Indian servants are seen in the background, one washing the gentleman's feet in a basin, while the other holds a tray with various grooming essentials. This scene offers a glimpse into the luxurious lifestyle of European colonizers abroad during the colonial era. The European gentleman's regal demeanor and the attentiveness of his Indian servants underscore the power dynamics of the time. The Indian servants, dressed in traditional Indian clothing, are depicted as subservient to their European master. The use of natural light, the intricate details of the European gentleman's attire, and the meticulous attention to grooming all contribute to the overall elegance and sophistication of the image. This photograph is a fascinating snapshot of life during the colonial era, offering a unique perspective on the social norms and power structures of the time.
