This 19th-century photograph by Shepherd & Robertson, titled "Drie mensen van de Sansias-stam in Delhi," depicts three members of the Sansia tribe in Delhi, India. The Sansias were a nomadic group known as "vagrants" and considered to be of "no particular creed". The image is framed in an oval and captures the subjects in a candid pose, providing a glimpse into their lives and traditions. This work offers a valuable record of daily life in colonial India, showcasing the diverse communities that inhabited the region.
