EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Cloth Maker, Aged 42,1828" offers a glimpse into the world of textile workers in 19th century India. Created by Marlet et Cie and featured in L'Inde Francais, this print showcases the artistry and craftsmanship involved in cloth making during that era. The subject of the portrait is a distinguished man, aged 42 at the time. His face carries an air of wisdom and experience as he proudly dons traditional Indian attire. The vibrant colors of his dress highlight the rich cultural heritage woven into every thread. A meticulously groomed moustache adorns his upper lip while an intricate headdress crowns his head with elegance. These details speak to both personal style and societal norms prevalent during this period. As we delve deeper into this image, it becomes evident that cloth making was not just a job for him; it was a way of life. His occupation as a textile worker played an integral role in shaping both his identity and livelihood. Through this lithograph, we are transported back to a time when skilled artisans like him were the backbone of India's thriving textile industry. It serves as a reminder of their invaluable contributions to society and their dedication to preserving age-old traditions. Preserved within Jean Claude Carriere's collection today, this remarkable piece continues to captivate viewers with its depiction of one man's connection to his craft amidst the bustling landscape of 19th century Hindoostan.
