EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Native sawyers, India" transports us back to the early 20th century in British-ruled Hindoostan. The image showcases a group of hardworking Indian men engaged in their occupation as sawyers. Dressed in traditional attire, these skilled individuals are seen diligently working with their tools amidst a lush natural backdrop. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to the photograph, emphasizing the historical significance of this moment captured by Cavanders Ltd. Originally issued as part of stereoscopic cards accompanying Army Club cigarettes, this particular detail has been carefully selected from that collection. The scene evokes a sense of respect for these native craftsmen who played an essential role in shaping India's landscape through their expertise in woodwork. Their dedication and precision can be observed as they skillfully manipulate the saws to shape timber into functional pieces. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported to an era when manual labor was at its peak and craftsmanship held immense value. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage found within India's diverse workforce during colonial times. This print is not only an artistic representation but also offers insight into the socio-economic dynamics prevalent during that period under British Raj rule. It stands as a testament to both the resilience and resourcefulness of Indian workers who contributed significantly towards building what would become modern-day India.
