EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Elderly Naga, Assam, India, 1922" transports us back to a bygone era. The image showcases an elderly member of the Naga tribe, known for their mixed Yunnanese and Burmese heritage. Dressed in traditional tribal attire and cloaked against the cold weather, this elderly individual exudes wisdom and resilience. The direct gaze of the subject draws us into his world as he sits outdoors smoking a pipe. His weathered face tells stories of a lifetime filled with experiences and challenges unique to his culture. This portrait not only captures the essence of an individual but also represents the rich diversity found within India's northeastern regions. Taken from the book "Peoples of All Nations" published in 1922 by JA Hammerton, this photograph offers a glimpse into a time when exploration and documentation were valued pursuits. It serves as a reminder that art has always played an essential role in preserving cultural heritage. D Macintyre skillfully captured this moment frozen in time—a testament to his artistic talent. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece today, it allows us to appreciate both the beauty of human diversity and our shared humanity across continents and centuries.
