EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Quiet Moment on the Water: Small Dinghies in India, Late 19th Century" 2. Description: This black and white lantern slide, number 3 of box 221 in the Boswell Collection, transports us back to the late 19th century in India. The image showcases a serene scene on the water, with several small dinghies gently bobbing up and down. The boats, likely used for local transportation or fishing, are skillfully maneuvered by their occupants, who appear focused and in harmony with their surroundings. 3. Context: The lantern slide offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of India during the late 1800s. The dinghies, with their simple design and functional elegance, reflect the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the local population. The calm water, dotted with the boats, creates a tranquil atmosphere that contrasts with the bustling energy of colonial India. 4. Historical Significance: The late 19th century was a period of significant change in India, with the British Raj expanding its influence and control over various regions. This lantern slide, however, offers a brief respite from the political and social upheaval, providing a window into the everyday lives of the people and their connection to the water. 5. Technical Details: The lantern slide is a testament to the artistry of the photographers of the era, who captured moments in time with precision and skill. The image, with its fine details and textures, invites us to explore the history of India and the lives of its people during a pivotal time in their history. 6. Conclusion: This beautiful lantern slide of small dinghies on the water in India, circa 1890s, offers a unique perspective on the country's history and culture. It invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the simple beauty of everyday life. The image serves as a reminder of the rich history and stories that lie hidden within the pages of our collective past.
