EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) around 1910, portrays the intricate process of Plumbago preparation. Plumbago, also known as Leadwort, is a vibrant, blue-flowering plant native to South Africa that was cultivated extensively in the British colonies, including Ceylon, for ornamental purposes. The image showcases a group of men, women, and children engaged in the laborious task of sieving the harvested Plumbago flowers. The workers, dressed in simple clothing, are seated on the ground, meticulously pouring the flower petals into large, woven baskets. The petals are then carefully sifted through bamboo sieves to remove any impurities and ensure the highest quality of the final product. The huts in the background, made of straw and other natural materials, serve as temporary shelters for the laborers. The scene is a testament to the manual labor-intensive nature of the industry during the colonial era, with the British Empire relying heavily on local labor to cultivate and process plants for export. Despite the arduous work, the workers appear focused and determined, their expressions reflecting the pride and dedication they bring to their craft. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the rich cultural heritage and the intricacies of the plantation industry in Ceylon during the early 1900s.
