EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the timeless tradition of rubber tapping in Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka. The image features a local woman skillfully tapping a rubber tree with a tapping implement, known as a "tapper," in a lush, green plantation. Rubber tapping is an ancient practice that has been an integral part of Sri Lankan history and industry for centuries. The rubber tree, a large evergreen tree, is indigenous to the forests of South America but was introduced to Sri Lanka in the late 18th century. The sap, which is collected from the tree, is harvested by making small incisions in the bark with the tapper. The sap then flows out and is collected in containers, which are carried on the tapper's back. The process of tapping the rubber tree requires great care and expertise. The tapper must make the incisions at the right time and in the right place to ensure a steady flow of sap. The sap is then coagulated and processed to produce raw rubber, which can be further refined into various products. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history and cultural significance of rubber tapping in Sri Lanka. It is a reminder of the deep connection between the people and the land, and the importance of traditional practices in preserving the natural resources of our world. The scene is also a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of the human spirit, as the women continue to practice this ancient craft with dedication and pride.
