EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, titled "Korewah Group, aboriginal, Chota Nagpur," is an ethnographic treasure from the 19th century. Taken during the Victorian era, around the 1870s, 1880s, or 1890s, this image was published as part of "The People of India: A Series of Photographic Illustrations," a comprehensive collection commissioned under the order of Lord Canning, the Viceroy of India. The Korewah Group photograph showcases a group of indigenous men from the Chota Nagpur region, located in present-day Jharkhand, India. Dressed in traditional attire and adorned with body paint, these men are depicted holding bows and arrows, their weapons of the hunt and defense. Their strong, proud posture and intense gaze convey a deep connection to their land and culture. This photograph offers a rare and authentic glimpse into the lives of the ethnic tribes of India during this era. The People of India series was an important ethnographic record, documenting the diverse races and tribes that inhabited the Indian subcontinent. The series aimed to provide an accurate representation of the people and their ways of life, contributing significantly to the historical and anthropological records of the time. As we admire this vintage photograph, we are transported back to a time when the world was still largely unexplored and the wonders of diverse cultures were waiting to be discovered. The Korewah Group photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history and the indigenous peoples who have shaped the tapestry of India's cultural heritage.
