EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait, titled "Nawab Sikandar, the Begum of Bhopal, 1863" offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural diversity of India in the 19th century. The image showcases a distinguished female figure seated gracefully with an air of authority and elegance. As an engraving from The Illustrated London News, it captures the essence of this remarkable woman's occupation as she assumes her role as attendant to Nawab Sikandar. The Begum's attire reflects her Islamic faith, adorned in traditional garments that symbolize her devotion to religion and country. Her serene expression hints at both wisdom and strength acquired through years of experience. This portrait not only celebrates her status as a lady but also highlights her profession within Indian society during this era. Located in Madhya Pradesh, Bhopal was home to influential figures like Nawab Sikandar who held significant political power at that time. Through this print by Nawab Sikander himself or an unknown creator, we are transported back to a period when women played crucial roles in shaping their communities. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece from Heritage Images' collection, let us appreciate the historical significance it represents – showcasing the diverse religious practices and occupations that existed within India during its colonial past.
