EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases the meticulous cultivation of arrowroot on the estate of Messrs Raw and Faggitt in Durban, Port Natal, South Africa. The intricate illustration provides a glimpse into the laborious process involved in growing this tropical plant, known for its starchy tubers. The image captures workers tending to the arrowroot plants with care and precision, highlighting the importance of agriculture and farming practices in sustaining communities. The lush greenery surrounding the plantation serves as a reminder of the rich biodiversity found in South Africa's landscape. Arrowroot, scientifically known as Maranta arundinacea, has been cultivated for centuries for its versatile culinary uses and medicinal properties. Its significance in traditional medicine and cuisine makes it a valuable crop that continues to be grown around the world. As we admire this historical depiction of arrowroot cultivation, we are reminded of the dedication and expertise required to sustainably produce crops like these. The legacy of Messrs Raw and Faggitt lives on through their commitment to agricultural innovation in Port Natal, leaving behind a lasting impact on South African farming practices.
