EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of a bustling Indian roadway in the late 1890s, where the transport of goods relied heavily on the humble yet powerful bullock-drawn cart. Bullocks, large, sturdy oxen, were a common sight on the roads of India, providing an essential mode of transportation for the local population. In this image, we see several carts, each one meticulously crafted from wood and adorned with intricate designs, being pulled by pairs of these magnificent animals. The men, dressed in traditional Indian attire, skillfully navigate the carts through the winding roads, their faces etched with determination and focus. The carts were used to transport a wide range of goods, from agricultural produce to construction materials, making them an integral part of the Indian economy. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life of India during the late 19th century, a time when bullock-drawn carts were the backbone of the transportation network. The image is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the Indian people, who found innovative ways to overcome the challenges of transportation in a rapidly changing world.
