EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Plucking tea, up-country estate, Ceylon" transports us back to the early 20th century in the lush landscapes of Sri Lanka. Taken between 1900 and 1930 by PlAtA© Ltd. Ceylon, this image captures a poignant moment on a tea plantation. In the foreground, we see a group of Singhalese women laborers diligently plucking tea leaves into their baskets. Their colorful traditional attire contrasts beautifully with the surrounding greenery. The delicate precision with which they handle each leaf reflects their expertise in this age-old practice. Standing tall in the background are male overseers who supervise these hardworking women as they carry out their tasks. This glimpse into the hierarchical structure of the estate adds depth to our understanding of life on these plantations during that era. The Royal Society for Asian Affairs in London has preserved this historical gem, allowing us to witness firsthand an important aspect of Ceylon's rich cultural heritage. With its impeccable composition and attention to detail, this photograph showcases not only skilled photography but also serves as a testament to the resilience and dedication of those involved in tea production. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of how art can transport us through time and space while shedding light on forgotten stories from our past.
