EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, hailing from the annals of history, depicts an intriguing mechanical cooling device, a so-called "punkah" ventilator, designed to provide relief from the oppressive heat waves and sweltering summer temperatures of yesteryears. Dating back to 1886, this ingenious invention was a household essential long before the advent of modern air conditioning systems. The punkah ventilator, comprising of a large, foot-operated fan, was a popular solution for cooling down during warm weather. Its design was simple yet effective, with a series of suspended sails attached to a central axis, which were manually controlled by a laborer, known as a "punkah wallah," who would wave the sails back and forth to create a cooling breeze. This historical artifact is a testament to the ingenuity of the human spirit, as people sought out innovative ways to cope with the harsh realities of extreme temperatures. The punkah ventilator's significance extends beyond the realm of personal comfort, as it offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the daily lives of people during a time when global warming was not yet a pressing concern. The punkah ventilator's design, with its large fan and foot pedals, is a stark contrast to the sleek, compact, and energy-efficient cooling appliances we have come to know today. This photograph serves as a reminder of the past, while also highlighting the remarkable progress we have made in the realm of temperature control, making it an essential addition to any collection of historical images.
