EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Pluckers on Tea Estate, Ceylon, c1890" offers a glimpse into the world of tea plantation workers in early 20th century Sri Lanka. Captured by artist Alfred William Amandus Plate as part of his renowned collection "The Hundred Best Views of Ceylon" this image showcases the natural beauty of the hillside landscape while shedding light on an important aspect of local industry. In this monochrome vista, two young girls can be seen diligently plucking tea leaves amidst the lush greenery. Their direct gaze towards the camera reflects their dedication to their job and highlights their role in sustaining the tea plantation economy. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of child labor practices that were prevalent during that era. Plate's artistic composition not only captures a specific moment in time but also provides insight into the occupation and daily lives of these Asian tea pickers. The image evokes a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature while simultaneously raising questions about labor conditions and societal norms. As we admire this historical snapshot, it is essential to acknowledge its significance beyond mere aesthetics. It serves as both documentation and commentary on an important chapter in Sri Lanka's history – one that shaped its economy, culture, and social fabric.
