EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Chuprassee, or Messenger, terracotta figurine from India dating back to around 1880. The statuette is part of a collection created by the Indian School in the 19th century and is currently housed at the National Army Museum in London. The intricate craftsmanship of this terracotta figurine is truly remarkable. Standing tall with an air of importance, the man depicted wears vibrant textile clothes that have been carefully painted and glazed. His posture exudes professionalism and dedication to his role as a messenger. This figurine belongs to a set of twelve models representing various Indian civilians from that era. It offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and societal dynamics prevalent during that time period. As we admire this artwork, we are transported back to late 19th-century India, where messengers like this Chuprassee played an integral role in communication systems. They were entrusted with delivering important messages across vast distances, ensuring effective communication between individuals and communities. Through this photograph print captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we can appreciate not only the artistic beauty but also gain insights into historical professions and daily life in India during the late 1800s.
