EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, titled "Starting for a picnic, Kinta, Perak" we are transported back in time to the early 20th century British Malaya. Taken by an English photographer, this image captures the essence of a leisurely day out in the picturesque region of Kinta. A group of elegantly dressed men and women can be seen gathered together, ready to embark on their much-anticipated picnic adventure. The women donning long flowing dresses and wide-brimmed hats exude grace and sophistication while the men sport tailored suits with bowler hats adding a touch of formality to the occasion. The lush green landscape serves as an idyllic backdrop for this scene; it is evident that nature's beauty was highly valued during those times. The towering trees provide shade from the sun's rays as if inviting these picnickers to revel in its tranquility. This print holds historical significance as it was featured in Sir Frank Swettenham's book "British Malaya". It offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when colonialism shaped societies across continents. Through this photo, we witness not only the joyous anticipation before embarking on a simple outdoor excursion but also gain insight into cultural norms and fashion trends prevalent at that time. As we admire this remarkable piece of history captured through lens and paper, let us appreciate how photography has preserved moments like these for generations to come.
