EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the image of two coolies, or laborers, in China during the late 1890s. The coolies are shown in a studio setting, with a simple backdrop, likely intended to highlight their figures against a plain background. They both wear wide-brimmed hats, a common protection against the sun and rain, and each holds a long-handled broom with a bundle of sweeping brushes attached. The coolies' expressions are serious, yet their postures are relaxed, suggesting a sense of pride and familiarity with their work. The brushes, which were used to clean streets and courtyards, were a common tool for coolies, who were often employed in manual labor jobs. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of coolies during a time when China was undergoing significant social and economic changes. The period was marked by the expansion of foreign trade and the growth of urban centers, leading to an increased demand for labor. Coolies, who were often recruited from rural areas, played a crucial role in the development of China's infrastructure and economy. Despite their important contributions, coolies faced many challenges, including long working hours, low wages, and poor living conditions. This photograph, however, offers a moment of respite, showcasing the coolies as individuals with dignity and strength. The image also serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural traditions that continue to shape China today.
