Bent Bizarre Book Case Carries Carry Caucasus Cupboard Double Georgia Georgian Heavy Impossible Lift Lifting Lifts Porter Silly Strain Unusual Weight Weird Back Ache Furniture Unbelievable
EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures the unusual sight of a Georgian porter, identified by his traditional hat and long, flowing coat, carrying an oversized piece of furniture on his bent back. Dating back to the 1910s, this image offers a glimpse into the past when heavy lifting was a common occupation in the streets of the Caucasus region. The porter, with a determined expression on his face, straps the heavy bookcase or cupboard to his back using ropes or straps, creating an impressive yet bizarre sight. The double backload, which appears to be an impossible task for one person, puts an immense strain on his back, leading to potential discomfort and even injury. The unusual angle of the photograph adds to the sense of wonder and amazement, making it a fascinating and weird find. Despite the apparent difficulty and strain, the porter's posture exudes a sense of strength and resilience, showcasing the physical demands and unique challenges of his trade. This unbelievable image offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the hard work and dedication required to make a living in earlier times.
