EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Native Duck Keeper Herding His Flock in Formosa, 1912" This evocative photograph captures a moment in the rich agricultural history of Taiwan, or Formosa, as it was then known. The image portrays a native Taiwanese duck keeper skillfully guiding his flock of ducks across a picturesque wooden bridge. The year is 1912, and the scene is reminiscent of a bygone era. The serene setting is enhanced by the tranquil waterway, with its crystal-clear reflections of the lush greenery that surrounds the bridge. The duck keeper, dressed in traditional clothing, expertly uses a long pole to steer the ducks, while a companion sculls a boat alongside, ensuring none strays from the path. The practice of raising ducks for their meat and eggs has been an essential part of Taiwanese culture for centuries. The islands' abundant water resources and tropical climate make it an ideal location for duck farming. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the native people who have long relied on this traditional occupation to sustain their communities. The image also highlights the unique blend of Chinese and indigenous influences that have shaped Taiwan's history. The bridge's design, with its intricate wooden construction and ornate detailing, reflects the Chinese influence on the island's architecture. Meanwhile, the native duck keeper and his traditional attire showcase the indigenous heritage that continues to thrive in Taiwan. This photograph is an invaluable historical record of a time when agriculture and rural life played a central role in Taiwan's development. It offers a poignant reminder of the island's rich cultural heritage and the resilient spirit of its people.
