- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Ethnographical Photography
Full-length profile portrait of a man and a woman, posed as if walking, against a plain cloth backdrop. This photograph is also reproduced in Watson & Kaye's 'The People of India' (vol. 8, 1875), plate 429 (see Photo 972/8 (429)), there captioned 'Holeyas': 'The Holeyas are found in Coorg houses all over the country. They perform menial work for the Coorgs, to whom they belong as members of their domestic institutions. There are two kinds of Holeyas - the Kembati, or Kodaga speaking, and the Badgu, or Canarese speaking, Holeyas. They dress variously, but eat all descriptions of food, beef included...They are poor, ignorant people, some of good stature and robust constitution, but generally middle-sized men, of dark black complexion....The photographs are of Suba, and Ballajee, his daughter...'
