EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Two lamas of Sikkim in ceremonial dress, 1902" offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Asia. The image showcases two distinguished men adorned in traditional attire, representing the religious practices of Buddhism in the region. Their elaborate costumes and headdresses exude an air of spirituality and reverence. The photograph was captured by Johnson & Hoffman as part of their work for "The Living Races of Mankind" series, published by Hutchinson & Co in London during the early 20th century. It serves as a testament to their dedication to ethnography and documenting different races and ethnicities across the globe. These Sikkimese lamas stand tall with an aura that reflects centuries-old traditions passed down through generations. Their robes flow gracefully around them, symbolizing their commitment to Buddhist teachings. The intricate details on their ceremonial dresses highlight the meticulous craftsmanship prevalent within Asian cultures. As we delve into this monochrome portrait, we are transported to a time when ethnicity played a vital role in shaping identities and communities. This print not only captures a moment frozen in history but also invites us to appreciate the diversity found within our global society.
