EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene of harvesting in India, showcasing the primitive methods that are still in use despite the advancements in modern technology. In this image from 1909, we see laborers using reaping hooks to gather crops, a practice that has not been superseded by modern harvesting machines. The sheer number of penny-a-day laborers involved in this process is staggering, highlighting the reliance on manual labor for agricultural tasks.
The contrast between the historical and primitive methods depicted in this photograph and the modern technologies available today is striking. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and traditions of farming practices in India, where age-old techniques continue to be passed down through generations.
The composition of this image beautifully captures the essence of hard work and dedication that goes into harvesting crops using traditional tools. The intricate details and textures add depth to the story being told, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in a moment frozen in time.
Overall, this print from Mary Evans Picture Library is not just a visual representation of farming practices but also a window into India's past, shedding light on how certain aspects of daily life have remained unchanged over decades.
