EDITORS COMMENTS

In this evocative photograph, a pair of white oxen gracefully pull an Ox-pulled wagon laden with an impressive mass of wooden tea chests. The scene unfolds in Colombo, Sri Lanka, during the 1910s, showcasing the traditional method of transportation used in the thriving tea industry of the region. The Lipton Ltd. Tea Company, a prominent player in the global tea market, is depicted in this image. The company's branding is not explicitly shown, but the presence of the distinctive large, sturdy wagon and the uniformity of the chests bearing the Lipton logo are clear indicators. The oxen, their coats glistening with sweat, seem to understand their role in the intricate process of transporting the precious cargo from the tea plantations to the bustling ports of Colombo. Their strength and determination are evident as they move the wagon forward, each step bringing it closer to its destination. The large, wooden wheels of the wagon roll effortlessly over the uneven terrain, absorbing the shocks and ensuring a smooth journey for the valuable tea chests. The chests, carefully stacked and secured, protect the fragile tea leaves inside from damage during transport. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of the tea industry in Sri Lanka, a time when traditional methods of transportation played a crucial role in the production and distribution of one of the world's most beloved beverages. The scene is a testament to the resilience and dedication of the people and animals involved in the process, making it an invaluable piece of history.
