EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of the cotton harvest in Tripoli, Lebanon, circa 1910. The image shows a young girl, her expression determined and focused, standing in front of a vast expanse of ripened cotton crops. The rolling hills of Tarabulus, in the north of Lebanon, stretch out behind her, dotted with traditional Lebanese houses. The girl wears simple clothing, typical of the rural laborers of the time, and holds a bundle of picked cotton in her arms. Her fellow workers, both children and adults, can be seen in the distance, engaged in the backbreaking labor of picking the delicate white fibers from the bolls. The cotton is then carefully bundled and transported to storage facilities, where it will be processed and exported. The cotton industry was a significant contributor to Lebanon's economy during this period, and the labor-intensive harvest required the efforts of countless workers. Despite the arduous nature of the work, the scene exudes a sense of community and camaraderie, with the workers working together to bring in the harvest. The photograph offers a glimpse into the agricultural past of Lebanon, a time when the land and its people were deeply interconnected. It is a poignant reminder of the hard work and dedication required to bring crops to fruition, and the resilience and determination of the people who toiled in the fields.
