This print titled "Tea, 1. - Plucking the Leaves, Ceylon, 1928" takes us back in time to the lush tea plantations of Sri Lanka in the early 20th century. The image showcases a group of hardworking women engaged in their daily occupation as tea pickers. Dressed in vibrant traditional attire, they skillfully pluck fresh tea leaves from the bushes with utmost precision and care. The backdrop of this enchanting scene is filled with other workers diligently tending to the sprawling tea plantation. This snapshot provides a glimpse into an era when agriculture played a vital role in shaping economies and livelihoods. The illustration captures not only the beauty of nature but also highlights the significant role that these female farmers played as pillars of their community. Their dedication and expertise were crucial for cultivating this cash crop that would eventually find its way into teacups around the world. This historic photograph was part of a series called "Products of the World: A Series of 50" produced by John Player & Sons, London, in 1928. It serves as a reminder of our rich agricultural heritage and pays homage to those who labored tirelessly on these picturesque plantations. As we admire this timeless image today, let us appreciate both the natural splendor depicted and acknowledge the invaluable contributions made by generations past in nurturing our planet's resources through their unwavering commitment to farming and cultivation.
