Thakoor Hurree Singh. Rajpoot. Sillana. Photographer: Waterhouse, James
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Ethnographical Photography
Half-length seated portrait. The letterpress states that 'The official record is silent on the subject of this person; and it can only be presumed that he is one of the Thakoors or barons of the small state and court of Sillana, who is in nowise remarkable'. Waterhouse's notes, however, state that he is a 'Rhattore Rajpoot' and that 'this photograph was taken at Sillana during the month of March 1862. Owing to the habit the Rajpoots have of eating opium in large quantities, I found that most of my pictures of Rajpoots were more less indistinct, which circumstance I attribute to that practice. The belts worn by this Thakoor are worthy of notice' (Government of India Foreign Consultations (General), July 1863, p. 39, IOR/P/205/4). For another copy of this print, see Photo 355/9 (34).
