EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of Burmese women intently engaged in the traditional art of rolling leaf tobacco into large cheroot cigars. The scene unfolds in a low-lit room, where the women, seated around a long table, deftly manipulate the tobacco leaves with their skilled hands. The cheroot, a cigar-like smoke popular in Myanmar and India, was a favorite among the British during their colonial rule. The women's faces are focused and determined as they prepare the cheroots, their expressions a testament to the pride and dedication they bring to this age-old craft. The cheroot industry holds a significant place in Burmese history and culture, and the women's meticulous work continues to keep this tradition alive. The photograph, taken circa 1910, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the simple act of tobacco preparation held great significance and charm.
