EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Native Way of climbing Cocoa Palms in Ceylon" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the traditional methods employed by locals in Sri Lanka (formerly known as Ceylon) to harvest cocoa. The image showcases the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Sri Lankan people as they skillfully navigate their way up towering cocoa palm trees. In this scene, we witness an intimate moment where a native climber fearlessly ascends one of these majestic palms. With bare feet gripping onto the rough bark and a rope securely tied around his waist, he effortlessly moves upwards towards his prize - clusters of ripe cocoa pods hanging high above. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from the intricate patterns on the climber's clothing to the lush green landscape that surrounds him. This engraving not only captures a specific cultural practice but also serves as a testament to human adaptability and resilience. "The Native Way of climbing Cocoa Palms in Ceylon" transports us across time and space, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty of nature and humanity's harmonious relationship with it. It reminds us that throughout history, different cultures have developed unique techniques for survival based on their environment. This print stands as a tribute to those who have mastered age-old traditions passed down through generations – an ode to our shared heritage.
