EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Only the baytrees will grow without cultivation" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The illustration, created by Charles Etienne Pierre Motte, depicts General Lallemand's colony at Champ d'Asile in 1819. The image showcases the harsh reality faced by Bonapartist emigrants who sought refuge in this French colony established in Texas. The settlers are seen ploughing and working tirelessly on the land, symbolizing their determination to build a new life far away from their homeland. Amidst the group of laborers, we notice a mother holding her child close, representing the resilience and hope that fueled these brave individuals during their exile. A handshake between two men further emphasizes unity and solidarity among the colonists as they face numerous challenges together. The title itself - "Only the baytrees will grow without cultivation" - serves as a poignant reminder of both nature's ability to thrive effortlessly and perhaps an underlying message about human perseverance amidst adversity. This historical snapshot offers insight into the struggles faced by early American settlers while also highlighting their unwavering commitment to creating a better future for themselves and their families. It is a testament to human resilience, hard work, and determination against all odds.
