EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Patna, India in the late 19th century. The scene depicts grain merchants and flour traders engrossed in their daily activities, surrounded by an array of scales and measuring baskets. Engraved after a drawing by A. Duvivier, this illustration is part of Louis Rousselet's remarkable documentation of the Rajahs' journey through India between 1864-1868. The image transports us into a world where commerce thrived amidst vibrant colors and intricate details. Each merchant meticulously weighs grains using traditional scales while others carefully measure out flour with various baskets. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of these skilled tradesmen immersed in their craft. Published in "Le tour du monde" in 1874, edited by Edouard Charton and published by Hachette Paris, this piece offers a glimpse into a significant period of Indian history. It showcases not only the economic importance of grain trading but also provides insight into the cultural practices that shaped daily life during that era. Thanks to Leonard de Selva's preservation efforts, we can still appreciate this historical gem today. As we admire this artwork from his private collection, let us reflect on how it connects us to our past and reminds us of the rich tapestry woven by different cultures across time.
