EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to Paraguay in 1911, capturing a serene moment during a Paraguayan tea gathering. The image is from the book "Picturesque Paraguay" by Alexander K MacDonald, published by Charles H Kelly in London. In this snapshot of history, we witness the beauty of nature intertwined with the hard work of agriculture. A group of men and women are gathered under a majestic tree, engaged in their daily occupation as tea pickers. Each individual plays an essential role in this centuries-old profession that sustains their community. The monochrome tones add depth and timelessness to the scene, transporting us to an era when farm labor was predominantly manual. Men can be seen carrying sacks filled with freshly picked tea leaves while women gracefully handle delicate foliage. Paraguay's rich agricultural heritage comes alive through this photograph - a testament to its importance as one of South America's key contributors to the global tea industry. The location itself remains unknown but serves as a reminder that countless similar scenes unfolded across the continent during this period. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history captured by Alexander K MacDonald, we are reminded not only of our connection to nature but also of the tireless efforts made by individuals like these farm workers who shaped Paraguay's agricultural landscape in the early 20th century.
