EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a court of justice hidden deep within the jungle, near the village of Sanchi. The scene unfolds after the theft of an explorer's chest, prompting the magistrate of Bhopal and his gendarmes to venture into this remote location for investigation and judgment. Sitting on the left side of the clerk is L. Rousselet, a representative who narrates this extraordinary tale. The engraving, based on A. de Neuville's drawing, vividly portrays the intensity and drama surrounding this eventful trial. In the background, witnesses are seen being beaten with sticks in an effort to extract denunciations from them. This brutal act serves as a means to encourage truth-telling amidst a web of secrets. Published in "Le tour du monde" by Louis Rousselet in 1873 and edited by Edouard Charton under Hachette edition in Paris, this image offers us a glimpse into India's rich history during 1864-1868 when Rajahs ruled over vast territories. Leonard de Selva has beautifully captured this historical moment through his lens, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and cultural significance. As we gaze upon this photograph print today, we are transported back in time to witness not only an intriguing courtroom scene but also gain insight into colonial exploration and justice systems prevalent during that era.
