EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the early 20th century, as two sturdy oxen patiently wait hitched to an ox-cart in Portugal. The scene transports us back to a simpler era, when oxen were the primary mode of transportation for goods and people in rural areas. The driver, dressed in traditional attire, engages in a friendly conversation with an acquaintance, passing the time of day as he waits for his next load or destination. The oxen, with their large, expressive eyes and docile demeanor, seem to understand the rhythm of rural life and the importance of community connection. This image offers a glimpse into the rich history of Portuguese transport and the daily lives of its people during a time when oxen were an integral part of the agricultural and commercial landscape. The photograph, taken in 1909, is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of rural communities and the enduring bond between humans and animals. The image is a valuable historical document, showcasing a way of life that has largely disappeared in the modern era.
