EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the diversity and artistry of Indian barbers from different regions. In this image, we are transported back to 1822 London, where a hand-coloured engraving was published by Rudolph Ackermann. On the left side, we witness the Telinga barber engrossed in his craft as he meticulously sharpens his razor. His focused expression reflects years of experience and dedication to his profession. Meanwhile, on the right side of the print, our attention is drawn to a Malabar barber skillfully shaving a client's head. The client appears relaxed and confident in the hands of this expert barber who effortlessly glides his razor across their scalp. This moment captures not only a routine grooming practice but also highlights the trust between these two individuals. The vibrant colors added to this engraving bring life to every detail - from the intricate patterns on their clothing to the gleaming razors they wield with precision. It serves as a reminder that personal hygiene has always been an essential aspect of human existence throughout history. Through this remarkable piece of artwork, we are reminded of India's rich cultural heritage and its diverse traditions that continue to shape society today.
