EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a Sudanese cotton field during the 1920s or 1930s. The image, part of the Empire Marketing Board's extensive collection, showcases the backbreaking labor involved in the cotton industry during this period. The vast expanse of the field stretches out before us, dotted with workers in traditional African attire, their faces focused intently on the task at hand. They are bent low over the cotton plants, plucking the ripe bolls with practiced ease. The sun beats down mercilessly on their backs, casting long shadows across the parched earth. The scene is one of hard work and determination, as the workers toil to bring in the valuable cotton crop that would fuel the textile industries of Britain and other European countries. The photograph offers a glimpse into the agricultural practices of the time, providing a window into the past and the human stories that underpinned the global cotton trade. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich history of farming and industry in Africa, and the enduring connection between the continent and the textile industries of the world.
