EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The manner of treading out their rice" takes us back to the 17th century on the island of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka. Created by Robert Knox, an explorer and captive of the Kandy king Rajasinghe II for 19 years, this engraving offers a glimpse into the customs and agricultural techniques of the indigenous inhabitants. In this particular plate, we witness men diligently working in unison to tread out their precious rice crop. The scene showcases a harmonious blend of industry and tradition as they employ cattle - cows - to assist them in this labor-intensive task. With meticulous attention to detail, Knox captures not only the physical act but also conveys a sense of unity among these workers. As we delve deeper into this historical account, it becomes evident that agriculture played a vital role in shaping society on Ceylon during that era. The British East India Company's presence is subtly hinted at through references to trade and exploration. Through this remarkable illustration from Knox's experiences, we gain insight into both the daily lives and struggles faced by these native people. It serves as a testament to their resilience amidst adversity while shedding light on an important chapter in Sri Lanka's history. This print from Heritage Images transports us back centuries ago when life revolved around farming practices like treading rice fields with care and dedication – an enduring image that continues to resonate today.
