EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by Underwood & Underwood in 1903, showcases a significant moment in history on Sir Thomas Lipton's estate in Polgahawela, Sri Lanka. The image depicts a group of Tamil women diligently picking tea leaves amidst the lush greenery of the plantation. The photograph not only highlights the beauty of nature but also sheds light on the laborious occupation these women undertook to contribute to Sri Lanka's thriving tea industry. Their dedication and hard work are evident as they carefully pluck each leaf from the tea plant. The composition exudes a sense of tranquility and harmony with its monochrome tones, emphasizing both the serenity of their surroundings and their devotion to their task. These women represent an integral part of Asian culture and heritage, showcasing their resilience and commitment to sustaining this important agricultural practice. Beyond being an occupation, this scene holds religious significance for some as Hinduism is prevalent among Tamil communities. It serves as a reminder that traditions and spirituality often intertwine with daily life in this region. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to early 20th-century Sri Lanka—a country rich in natural resources where hardworking individuals like these Tamil women played an essential role in shaping its economy. This print is not just a visual delight; it encapsulates stories untold and pays homage to those who contributed tirelessly behind the scenes.
