EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of the rubber industry in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) during the early 1910s, a time when the British Empire held significant influence over the island nation. The image shows a young woman, dressed in traditional Indian attire, skillfully tapping the bark of a rubber tree. Rubber trees, with their distinctive trunks and large, glossy leaves, can be seen in the background. Rubber tapping was a labor-intensive process that required a great deal of patience and dexterity. Women and girls were often employed for this task due to their smaller stature and nimble fingers. Using a small wooden tapper, they would make incisions in the tree bark to allow the sap to flow into collecting pots. The sap was then harvested daily and heated to produce latex, which was used to make various products, including rubber bands, tires, and gloves. The rubber industry in Ceylon was a significant contributor to the British Empire's economy during the colonial era. The demand for rubber, driven by the burgeoning automobile industry, led to large-scale plantations and the exploitation of local labor. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the lives of the women who played a crucial role in the rubber production process, providing a window into the past and the rich history of Ceylon's industrial heritage.
