EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Rickshaw Coolie" takes us back to the late 19th century in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka). The artist behind this masterpiece is Alfred William Amandus Plate, who beautifully captures the essence of transportation and people's lives during that era. In this image, we see a hardworking male rickshaw driver known as a coolie. Dressed in traditional attire, he stands proudly beside his rickshaw with an air of determination. His bare-chested appearance showcases the physical demands of his job under the scorching sun. The monochrome effect adds depth and timelessness to the portrait, emphasizing its historical significance. This photograph is part of "The Hundred Best Views of Ceylon" collection published by Plate Ltd in 1910. It serves as a window into both the past and cultural heritage of Asia. Plate's attention to detail allows us to appreciate not only the man but also his surroundings - from his costume to the bustling streets around him. Through this artwork, we gain insight into a profession that was integral to daily life at that time. As we admire this stunning piece from The Print Collector archives, let it transport us back in time and remind us of those who played vital roles in shaping our world through their laborious occupations.
