EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "A Parsi Family, 1902" offers a glimpse into the lives of an Indian family from over a century ago. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Bourne & Shepherd, renowned for their skill in capturing cultural diversity through photography. In this portrait, we see a proud Parsi father standing tall alongside his wife and children. Dressed in traditional attire, each family member exudes grace and elegance. The mother's intricate dress showcases the rich heritage of her country while emphasizing her role as a nurturing figure within the household. The children, both boys and girls, stand close to their parents with an air of curiosity and innocence. Their presence highlights the importance of familial bonds within the Parsi community. This photograph not only captures the essence of family but also provides insight into religious practices prevalent during that era. As followers of Zoroastrianism - one of the world's oldest religions - this Parsi family embodies devotion to their faith. Preserved through time, this monochrome image serves as a testament to India's diverse ethnicities and cultures. It allows us to reflect on our shared humanity while appreciating our unique backgrounds.
