EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "A portrait of Lepchas, West Bengal, India, c1910" offers a glimpse into the lives of the aboriginal inhabitants of present-day Sikkim. The Lepcha people are also known as Rong, Rongke, or Rongpa and can be found not only in Sikkim but also in western and southwestern Bhutan, the Ilam District of eastern Nepal, and even the hills of West Bengal. The image showcases a group portrait that includes both men and women dressed in traditional attire. The individuals exude an air of pride as they pose confidently for the camera with direct gazes. Their clothing consists of beautifully adorned robes and intricate jewelry that reflect their rich cultural heritage. The photograph was taken by J Burlington Smith around 1910 and is part of his publication "Views of Darjeeling with Typical Native Portraits and Groups". This monochrome masterpiece provides us with a valuable historical record capturing the essence of this indigenous community during that era. As we observe this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to early 20th-century India - a land filled with diverse cultures and traditions. It serves as a reminder to cherish our roots while celebrating the beauty found within different communities across our continent.
