EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1930s on a large rubber tree plantation near Suva, Fiji Island. The image showcases a gathering of Hindu laborers engaged in the meticulous task of collecting sap or latex from a scored tree. Their dedication and hard work are evident as they go about their daily agricultural duties. The photograph, part of the "Tour of the World" collection by Keystone View Company, Meadville, Pa. , offers a glimpse into the world of farm laborers during this era. The workers can be seen amidst an expansive outdoor setting surrounded by towering rubber trees (Ficus elastica). Their profession as farmhands is portrayed with dignity and respect through this portrait. The composition highlights not only the occupation but also nature's beauty intertwined with human endeavor. It serves as a reminder of our connection to the land and its resources. As we observe these individuals diligently tending to their tasks, we gain appreciation for their contribution to agriculture and farming practices. Through this powerful image captured by an unknown photographer, we are transported back in time to witness an important moment in history - one that sheds light on both cultural diversity and economic activities within Fiji's rich heritage.
