Tea, 2. - Weighing the Pickings, Ceylon, 1928 captures a moment in time that showcases the intricate process of tea production in early 20th century Sri Lanka. This print from Players Cigarettes' 'Products of the World: A Series of 50' collection offers a glimpse into the world of nature, agriculture, and trade. In this vibrant image, we see a group of farm workers diligently weighing their pickings on traditional scales. The lush green backdrop of the tea plantation sets the stage for their laborious task. Each worker carefully fills baskets with freshly plucked tea leaves while others patiently wait their turn to weigh their harvest. The scene is filled with an air of camaraderie as these individuals work together to ensure precision and accuracy in measuring their yield. Their expertise and dedication are evident as they contribute to the cultivation of this cash crop that has become synonymous with Ceylon's rich heritage. This beautifully illustrated print not only highlights the importance of tea farming but also serves as a testament to the hardworking agricultural community that sustains this industry. It transports us back to a bygone era when manual labor played an integral role in shaping economies worldwide. As we admire this snapshot from history, let us appreciate both its visual beauty and historical significance—a tribute to those who dedicated themselves to cultivating one of nature's most beloved beverages.
