EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Travelling Singers, 1827-35" takes us back to the colonial era in South Asia. The vibrant colour lithograph by M. E. Burnouf showcases a troupe of itinerant singers known as Sarada-Caren, beautifully dressed in traditional attire. The musicians are depicted with their stringed sitar instruments, creating a mesmerizing melody that resonates through the landscape. The image is an illustration from L'Inde Francaise, a publication by Chabrelle in Paris during the early 19th century. It offers a glimpse into the world of entertainment and music prevalent at that time. Orientalism is evident in this artwork, as French artists were fascinated by exotic cultures and often portrayed them through their artistic lens. The composition captures both male and female performers wearing intricately designed costumes and distinctive hats that add to the allure of their performance. Their musical talents transcend boundaries as they travel across India, spreading joy through their melodic voices. This print from the Stapleton Collection allows us to appreciate not only the skillful artistry but also serves as a historical document showcasing cultural exchange between France and South Asia during this period. It reminds us of the power of music to connect people across different lands and eras while celebrating traditions that have stood the test of time.
