India. Calcutta. Harrison Road I with Group of Jogees, after photo by Dr. Kurt Boeck, c. 1890-1910. Photoglob Co. (Zurich, active c. 1890-1910). Photochrom; image: 20.6 x 26.4 cm (8 1/8 x 10 3/8 in.); paper: 20.6 x 26.4 cm (8 1/8 x 10 3/8 in.). The light poles in the image suggest the photo was taken after that event. The Jogees or Jogis are a rapidly shrinking caste that began as a community of people who practiced yoga and worshipped the Hindu god Shiva. Many earn their living as religious beggars. They traditionally wear saffron-colored clothing, but the printers in Switzerland who added the color to this image did not know that.
