EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the diverse range of Indian servants' clothing in the 19th century. The image features various individuals representing different occupations, each dressed in their respective attire. Starting from left to right, we see a jaliya or fisherman, donning traditional fishing gear and ready for a day's work on the water. Next is a harkara or messenger, dressed in practical clothing suitable for delivering important messages swiftly and efficiently. Moving along, we encounter a dai or wet nurse cradling a baby with care and tenderness. She wears garments that allow ease of movement while tending to her little charge. Beside her stands an ayah or nursery maid with child, both clad in comfortable outfits designed for playtime and childcare duties. Continuing our exploration of this fascinating scene, we come across a ladies maid elegantly attired in fashionable clothes befitting her role as personal attendant to an upper-class lady. Lastly, there is the methrani or female sweeper wearing simple yet functional clothing suited for manual labor. The hand-colored copperplate engraving beautifully captures these distinct costumes and provides us with valuable insight into the cultural diversity within Indian society during this period. This print serves as a testament to the rich history and traditions associated with different professions among Indian servants at that time.
