EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mariammane, a Brahmin woman" takes us back to the colonial era in South Asia. The image showcases the exquisite beauty and traditional attire of a high-caste Brahmin woman named Mariammane. Dressed in a stunning sari, she stands with grace and confidence, adorned with an array of intricate jewelry that highlights her status and femininity. Her necklaces cascade down her chest, drawing attention to her bare breasts which were considered symbols of fertility and abundance in Indian culture. The artist's use of vibrant colors through lithography brings out the richness of Mariammane's ensemble, emphasizing every detail from the delicate earrings to the ornate bindi spot on her forehead. This illustration was originally featured in L'Inde Francaise, a publication that aimed to showcase French perspectives on India during this period. "Mariammane" not only captures the essence of orientalism prevalent at that time but also serves as a historical record showcasing the diversity and cultural significance of Indian women's attire and adornments. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing portrait, we are transported into an era where tradition meets colonial influence; where beauty is celebrated through artistry and craftsmanship. It is truly remarkable how one image can encapsulate so much history within its frame.
