EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken by Ralph Ponsonby Watts, we witness a scene on a dusty track in a province that was once part of North-west India but now forms part of modern-day Pakistan. The year is uncertain, but the image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the daily life of the people who inhabited this region. A man and a woman travel together, their faces etched with the lines of a life lived close to the land. The woman is seated side-saddle on a donkey, her face completely covered by a veil, a common practice in Muslim communities in the region. The man walks alongside, leading the animal by its reins. Their bags are slung over the donkey's back, filled with the essentials for their journey. The landscape is arid and rugged, with the sun casting long shadows over the rocky terrain. The man and woman seem to be making their way to their destination, their faces focused on the road ahead. The donkey, a sturdy mule, carries them with a steady gait, its saddle adorned with intricate patterns, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region. This photograph offers a historical snapshot of a time and place that is often overlooked in the annals of history. It is a reminder of the resilience and determination of people who have lived in this region for centuries, and their ability to adapt to the challenges of their environment. The image is a poignant reminder of the human spirit and the enduring power of tradition. Ralph Ponsonby Watts captured this moment in time with a keen eye for detail and a deep appreciation for the beauty and complexity of the world around him. His photograph is a testament to the power of the image to transport us to another time and place, and to remind us of the rich and complex history that lies hidden in the most unexpected places.
