1881 Barge Cambodia Rowers


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Cambodia, specifically the Pursat River in the late 19th century. The long barge, filled with 32 determined rowers, glides effortlessly along the tranquil waterway. The image, taken in 1881, offers a window into a time when the river was a vital artery for transportation and commerce in the region. The Pursat River, located in western Cambodia, has played an essential role in the country's history for centuries. It served as a crucial transportation route for the Khmer Empire, connecting various parts of the kingdom and facilitating trade with neighboring countries. The use of large barges, manned by skilled rowers, was a common sight along the river. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, provides a unique perspective on this historical practice. The rowers, dressed in traditional Cambodian attire, focus intently on their task, their strong, rhythmic strokes propelling the barge forward. The serene landscape in the background, with lush greenery and gentle hills, adds to the idyllic scene. Despite the passage of time, this image serves as a reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Cambodia, who have long relied on the country's waterways to connect and thrive. Today, the Pursat River continues to be an essential part of the region's identity, offering a glimpse into the country's rich history and cultural heritage.
