Group of Nepalese: fishermen, etc. Photographer: Bourne and Shepherd
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Ethnographical Photography
'At least two religions, three, races, and the same number of callings, are represented in this not very numerous group. The taller men, with features of the Aryan type, are Gorkhalis, exercising the function of gamekeepers, or rather, purveyors of game to the Maharaja: they are Hindus. The two squatting on the ground, with dogs lying at their knees, are, to judge by their physiognomy, Kerantis, or perhaps Limbus, and Buddhist in religion. The fishermen are Tharos, natives of the Terai, who have the peculiarity of being proff to its malaria (which in certain seasons is deadly to anyone else), but liable to contract dangerous fever at the shortest notice in any more salubrious spot.'
[Albumen print, 136x97mm].
Subjects = Bourne and Shepherd, 'Royal Photographic Album' (1876); ethnic groups; Nepalis (ethnic group); printed books; royal tours
