EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the scene of a bustling road in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) during the late 1890s. The image is a testament to the country's rich history and the traditional mode of transportation that once dominated its streets. In the foreground, a line of bullock-drawn carts laden with various goods waits to continue their journey. The powerful bullocks, harnessed to the carts, seem poised and ready to move, while their drivers and helpers engage in animated conversations with each other. The road is a hive of activity, with men and children going about their daily tasks. Some are tending to the animals, while others are loading and unloading goods from the carts. The atmosphere is one of industry and productivity, as the carts represent an essential link in the transportation network that connected different parts of the island. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the simple yet effective way in which goods were transported before the advent of modern vehicles. The bullock-drawn carts were a common sight on the roads of Ceylon, and this image serves as a reminder of the important role they played in the country's history. The photograph's warm tones and crisp details bring the scene to life, transporting us back in time to a period when bullocks were the backbone of the transportation system in Ceylon. This image is a must-have for anyone interested in Asian history, transportation history, or simply for those who appreciate the beauty and richness of the past.
