Tapping a Rubber Tree in Sri Lanka: A Traditional Method from the 1910s This photograph showcases the timeless process of tapping a rubber tree in Sri Lanka, a practice that has been an essential part of the country's rich cultural heritage for centuries. The image, believed to have been taken in the 1910s, transports us back in time to an era when the rubber industry was flourishing in Ceylon, as Sri Lanka was then known. In the photograph, a local tapper is seen skillfully making incisions on the bark of a rubber tree using a small knife. The tree, with its attractive, glossy leaves, stands tall against the backdrop of lush greenery, exuding an air of tranquility and beauty. The tapper wears a simple loincloth and carries a basket and a few pots, which will be used to collect the latex sap that oozes out from the cuts. The method of tapping rubber trees involves making shallow, diagonal cuts on the bark, just enough to allow the sap to flow out. The tapper returns to the same tree every few days to make new cuts and collect the sap. This process is repeated throughout the year, ensuring a consistent supply of latex. The rubber industry in Sri Lanka has a long and fascinating history, with the first commercial rubber plantations being established in the late 1800s. However, this photograph captures the traditional, artisanal method of tapping rubber trees, which continues to be practiced in rural areas even today. This practice not only provides a livelihood for many local communities but also preserves the unique cultural traditions of Sri Lanka.
