EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in the rich history of the coffee industry in Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka. The image, estimated to date back to the 1890s, depicts a group of women intently sorting through baskets of freshly harvested coffee beans. Their focused expressions and deft movements convey the importance of their role in the production process. Coffee cultivation was a significant industry in Ceylon during the late 19th century, with the country becoming a major exporter of the prized commodity. The labor-intensive process of sorting beans was typically carried out by women, who sat on the ground or low stools, using their hands to separate the beans based on size and quality. The scene is set against a backdrop of simple, rustic surroundings, with the women's traditional clothing adding to the authenticity of the image. The baskets, woven from local materials, are piled high with beans, and the sunlight filters through the trees, casting dappled shadows on the ground. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the women who played a crucial role in Ceylon's coffee industry. Their dedication and skill were essential to the production of high-quality beans that were in demand around the world. Today, their legacy continues to be celebrated, as the country remains a major producer of fine coffee, beloved by coffee connoisseurs worldwide.
