EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the rich history of Baku, Azerbaijan, showcasing the traditional water transportation method used in the early 20th century. In the image, mules laden with barrels filled with fresh water make their way through the bustling streets, their determined strides pulling the carts known as 'jumbas' or 'cumbas.' The barrels, adorned with intricate designs, were a common sight in Baku before the introduction of modern water supply systems. The water carriers played a crucial role in the daily lives of the residents, providing a vital service in a city where water was scarce and precious. The water was drawn from the nearby Surakhani and other sources, and the mules and their human handlers would laboriously transport it to the homes and businesses of the city. The photograph, taken in 1906, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Baku. The mules, their coats glistening with sweat, plodded on, their burden a necessary one for the survival of the community. The scene is a poignant reminder of the historical methods used to meet the basic needs of a population, and the ingenuity and determination of people in overcoming the challenges of their environment. The photograph is a testament to the enduring history of Baku and its people, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the past for future generations. The image, with its rich details and evocative storytelling, is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of water supply systems, traditional methods of transportation, or the unique cultural heritage of Azerbaijan.
