EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in time from the early 20th century in the picturesque region of Guria, located in western Georgia along the eastern end of the Black Sea. The image showcases a group of hardworking men and their wagon, which is a testament to the simple yet resilient transport technology that was once commonplace in rural communities. The solid state wheel, a transport technology as old as the wheel itself, is a prominent feature of this scene. The men, dressed in traditional Caucasian attire, are shown loading their wagon with goods, while their oxen, powerful and sturdy, are hitched to the vehicle, ready to pull the heavy load. The oxen's powerful muscles ripple as they strain against the yoke, demonstrating their strength and endurance. The rugged terrain of Guria, with its rolling hills and verdant landscapes, is a fitting backdrop for this scene. The Black Sea, shimmering in the distance, adds a sense of tranquility and beauty to the image. The men, farmers and peasants of Guria, were the backbone of the region's agricultural economy, and their labor and determination ensured that their communities thrived. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when life was simpler, and the connection between people and the land was stronger. It is a glimpse into the history and heritage of a region that continues to captivate visitors with its rich culture and natural beauty.
