EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) takes us back to the early 1900s in Madagascar, where coffee bean harvesting was a significant part of the country's agricultural history. The image showcases a full-length view of five individuals, all dressed in traditional clothing, diligently working on a plantation. The scene exudes an aura of hard work and dedication as we witness farm workers carefully picking coffee beans from the plants with baskets at their side. The horizontal composition allows us to appreciate the vastness of the plantation and highlights the lush greenery surrounding them. Notably, it is fascinating to observe how two young girls actively participate alongside women in this labor-intensive task. This inclusion sheds light on social issues prevalent during that era and emphasizes gender equality within the workforce. One cannot help but admire these individuals' resilience as they carry heavy loads atop their heads while enduring long hours under the scorching sun. Their commitment reflects both their connection to nature and their determination to contribute towards Madagascar's thriving coffee industry. Overall, this historical photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our rich agricultural heritage and pays homage to those who played an integral role in shaping Madagascar's coffee production during the 20th century.
