EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century vintage photograph, titled 'Village Life in Bengal' by Samuel Bourne, transports us back in time to the 1860s in India during the British colonial era. The image showcases the tranquil and picturesque scene of rural life in Bengal, with a shepherd tending to his flock by the side of a serene river. The traditional attire of the villagers, with their colorful robes and turbans, adds to the authenticity of the scene. In the background, we can see the architectural remnants of colonial influence, such as the British army barracks and the European-style houses. The use of the albumen process, a popular photographic technique during this era, lends an antique and timeless quality to the image. The intricate details of the scene, from the folds of the robes to the textures of the foliage, are a testament to Bourne's skill as a photographer. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the early days of the British Raj, providing a valuable historical record of a bygone era in Indian history.
