EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Toddy Drawers, c1890" by Alfred William Amandus Plate, offers a glimpse into the local industry of Ceylon in the late 19th century. The image showcases three barechested men, their semi-dressed bodies glistening under the tropical sun as they engage in their daily work. The scene unfolds beneath towering palm trees, which provide shade and shelter to these workers. With great skill and precision, one man pours the precious toddy from an urn while another stands nearby with a carrying pole ready to transport this valuable beverage. Their expertise is evident as they navigate through an enclosure filled with lush vegetation. Amidst this natural setting, it becomes apparent that toddy production was not only a means of livelihood but also deeply intertwined with Sri Lankan culture. This monochrome portrait captures both the physical labor involved in extracting palm wine and the serene beauty of its surroundings. As we delve into this early 20th-century photograph from "The Hundred Best Views of Ceylon" we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen within history. It serves as a reminder of how art can preserve cultural practices and traditions for generations to come.
