EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the harsh realities of transportation in the Thar Desert, also known as the Great Indian Desert, during the 1940s. The image, taken by renowned photographer Ralph Ponsonby Watts, depicts a line of lorries making their way through the arid landscape, with people and camels in the foreground. The Thar Desert, which spans across India and Pakistan, is known for its extreme climate, with scorching temperatures and limited water resources. During the 1940s, the Thar Desert presented a significant challenge to transportation, particularly for the movement of goods between India and Pakistan. Lorries, like the ones in this photograph, were a common sight on the desert roads, braving the harsh conditions to deliver essential supplies to remote communities. The people in the photograph, dressed in traditional clothing, are likely to be traders or travelers, making their way through the desert on foot or on the back of a camel. The photograph offers a glimpse into the history of transportation in the Thar Desert and the resilience of the people who lived and worked in this challenging environment. The hot, dry climate and arid conditions made travel difficult, but the determination of the people and the robustness of the lorries allowed for the movement of goods and people across the desert. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of those who navigated the Thar Desert in the 1940s and beyond.
