EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, part of the Boswell Collection, transports us back in time to the late 19th century in India. The image, slide number 209 and 42, depicts a bullock cart loaded with goods, pulled by a team of six white oxen. The scene unfolds outside a row of buildings, their facades bearing the marks of time and the elements. Two young boys, their faces etched with the innocence of childhood, stand beside the cart, each balancing a basket on their heads. The bullock cart, a common mode of transportation in rural India during this era, was an essential part of everyday life. Oxen were used to pull the carts, which were used to transport goods from one place to another. The boys in the photograph may be assisting in the transportation of goods, or they could be simply observing the scene. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life of people in India during the late 1800s. The use of black and white adds to the timeless quality of the image, transporting us back to a simpler time. The photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of India, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the past for future generations.
