EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured lithograph from Atkinson Afghanistan, London, 1842 showcases the ingenuity of the Persian wheel in Punjab, Pakistan (India). The image transports us to a bygone era where animal-powered machinery played a vital role in harnessing the power of water for irrigation. In this scene, we see oxen tirelessly walking in circles around a large wooden wheel. As they move forward, their efforts are transferred into motion as the wheel rotates and dips into the Sutlej River. With each rotation, buckets attached to the wheel scoop up precious water and raise it high above ground level. This ingenious mechanism ensures a constant supply of water for agriculture and sustenance. The vibrant colours used to enhance this lithograph bring life to every detail - from the lush greenery surrounding the riverbanks to an intricately designed houseboat gently floating nearby. It is evident that this print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also celebrates human innovation and resourcefulness. As we admire this historical artwork, let us appreciate how ancient civilizations like those in Punjab utilized technology such as Persian wheels to overcome geographical challenges and ensure prosperity through efficient irrigation systems. This image serves as a testament to our shared human history and reminds us of our ability to adapt and thrive even amidst challenging circumstances.
