EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph from the Liszt Collection showcases "Tumnie turning up lands" by Oscar Mallitte, a British photographer active in Allahabad, India during the 1870s. The image was captured in 1877 using the albumen silver print technique. In this mesmerizing composition, Tumnie takes center stage as he gracefully turns up lands with his bare hands. His powerful stance exudes strength and determination, while his gaze reflects a sense of pride and resilience. The viewer is drawn into Tumnie's world, witnessing his connection to the land and marveling at his physical prowess. Oscar Mallitte masterfully captures this moment in time, highlighting both Tumnie's individuality and the rich cultural tapestry of Allahabad. Through careful composition and impeccable lighting, Mallitte elevates this ordinary act into an extraordinary visual narrative that transcends time. The albumen silver print process adds depth to the image, enhancing its tonal range and lending it a timeless quality. This rare photographic gem serves as a testament to Mallitte's skill as well as an invaluable historical document of life in 19th-century India. As we admire this remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection, let us appreciate not only its artistic merit but also its significance in preserving our shared human heritage for generations to come.
