EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph titled "Two Girls in a Rickshaw" takes us back to the late 19th century in Japan. The image, captured by an anonymous Japanese photographer during the Meiji period, showcases two young girls seated comfortably inside a traditional rickshaw. The scene is set on a bustling street outside, where other vehicles and pedestrians can be seen going about their daily activities. The rickshaw driver stands proudly beside his human-powered vehicle, ready to transport these passengers to their desired destination. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element of this snapshot tells a story. From the delicate parasol shielding the girls from the sun's rays to the intricate design of the rickshaw itself, it reflects both elegance and functionality. Transportation during this era was predominantly dominated by such wheeled vehicles known as jinrikishas or pulled rickshaws. These were commonly used as taxis for short-distance travel throughout Asia. As we gaze upon this timeless print, we are transported back in time - witnessing not only a mode of transportation but also glimpses into Japanese culture and society during that period. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of technological advancements while appreciating the beauty found within simpler means of getting around. This historical photograph is now part of a private collection and remains out of copyright, allowing us all to admire its charm without any restrictions or limitations placed upon it.
