EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to a bustling food market in Darjeeling, West Bengal, India, circa 1910. The image is extracted from the publication "Views of Darjeeling with Typical Native Portraits and Groups" by J. Burlington Smith, published by Hood & Co. Ltd. In this snapshot of early 20th century Asian life, we witness the vibrant energy of trade as merchants go about their business buying and selling an array of fruits and vegetables. From watermelons to carrots and onions, the market is filled with colorful produce that reflects the abundance of this fertile region. The portrait-like quality of the photograph allows us to glimpse into the lives of these Indian traders who are deeply rooted in their country's rich agricultural heritage. With baskets on their heads or carried on their hips, they skillfully navigate through the crowd while engaging in lively transactions. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless charm to this scene from yesteryears, reminding us that despite technological advancements over the past century, some aspects of daily life remain unchanged. This print serves as a visual testament to both cultural continuity and historical significance. As we admire this remarkable piece captured by an unknown creator but preserved for posterity by J Burlington Smith and Hood & Co. Ltd. , let us appreciate its value as a window into India's past - a moment frozen in time where commerce meets tradition amidst the vibrant backdrop of Darjeeling's enchanting landscape.
