EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor print, titled 'Plate 31' from the extensive collection made by Brian Hodgson during his tenure as an employee of the Indian Civil Service from 1818 to 1843, showcases two ethnic groups native to Nepal: a Limbu and a Gurung. Dated 1847, this historic image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of the 19th century Victorian era in Asia. Brian Houghton Hodgson (1800-1894), the artist behind this masterpiece, was a prolific British naturalist, ethnologist, and explorer. His collection, which includes over 1,500 watercolors and 2,500 specimens, is a testament to his deep appreciation for the natural world and the diverse human societies he encountered during his travels. The Limbu and Gurung, proudly depicted in this image, are two distinct ethnic groups from the eastern and western regions of Nepal, respectively. The Limbu, with their distinctive facial tattoos and traditional attire, are believed to have originated from the southeastern part of Tibet. The Gurung, on the other hand, are a major ethnic group in the western part of Nepal, known for their bravery and martial skills. This evocative image not only captures the physical appearance of these two ethnic groups but also provides a window into their unique cultures and traditions. The Limbu and Gurung, with their intriguing costumes, accessories, and expressions, invite us to explore the fascinating history and heritage of Nepal during the 19th century. As we admire this historic artwork, we are reminded of the invaluable contributions made by Brian Houghton Hodgson to our understanding of the natural world and the diverse human societies that inhabit it. This image is a testament to the enduring power of art to transport us to different times and places, broadening our horizons and fueling our curiosity.
