EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the cover of Louis Jacolliot's book, "Journey to the ruins of Golconde and a la cite des morts (Industan)" from 1879. Illustrated by Edouard Riou, this edition published by E. Dentu takes us on an exploration through the heart of an Indian forest. The image depicts a group of explorers being warmly welcomed by nomadic members of the Kahdu-Courubaru caste. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life the rich civilization and hospitality found in this remote Indian village. As we delve into Jacolliot's narrative, we are transported to a world where encounters between different cultures shape our understanding of humanity. In this particular scene, our attention is drawn to a woman from the village who stands out amidst her fellow villagers. Her presence symbolizes both curiosity and intrigue as she engages with these foreign explorers. The juxtaposition between her nakedness and their clothed bodies adds another layer of cultural contrast. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a visual representation of cross-cultural exchange during an era when exploration was at its peak. It reminds us that books have always been powerful tools for bridging gaps between civilizations, allowing us to discover new worlds while celebrating our shared human experiences. © Patrice Cartier has skillfully preserved this historical gem through his lens, inviting viewers to embark on their own journey through time and space within the pages of Louis Jacolliot's remarkable book.
