EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1908 captures a group of Burmese women skillfully rolling leaf tobacco into cigars. The image provides a glimpse into the laborious process involved in cigar production during the early 20th century in South East Asia.
The women, dressed in traditional attire, are focused and meticulous as they work with precision to create perfectly rolled cigars. Their expertise and dedication to their craft is evident in the way they handle each leaf with care and attention to detail.
This snapshot of history sheds light on the important role that women played in the tobacco industry at that time. Despite facing challenges and working long hours, these workers were essential to the success of cigar manufacturers in Myanmar (formerly known as Burma).
As we admire this photograph, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage and craftsmanship that has been passed down through generations. The sight of these Burmese women rolling tobacco leaves into cigars serves as a testament to their resilience and ingenuity.
Overall, this print offers a fascinating insight into an industry that was thriving over a century ago, showcasing the hard work and dedication of these skilled workers who helped shape the landscape of cigar production in South East Asia.
