Vier Rajputs met wapens en een schild in Delhi before 1869

This photograph, taken by Shepherd & Robertson before 1869, depicts four Rajput men in Delhi, India. The men are armed with swords, spears, and a shield, and they are posed in front of a building with an arched doorway. This photograph, like many other works by Shepherd & Robertson, highlights the social and cultural aspects of 19th century India. It offers a glimpse into the lives of the Rajput people, a traditionally warrior caste, and captures a moment of their daily lives. The image is notable for its crisp detail and composition, highlighting the individuals and their weaponry.
