EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the vibrant and bustling sugar cane plantation in Cuba during the late 19th century. Taken from an engraving featured in "Grands hommes et grands faits de l'industrie" a renowned French publication, this image offers a glimpse into the agricultural practices of that era. The scene is filled with activity as workers laboriously tend to the sugar cane fields, highlighting the importance of agriculture in Cuba's economy at that time. The lush palm trees surrounding the plantation add a tropical touch to the landscape, evoking a sense of exoticism and adventure. Intriguingly, amidst this picturesque setting lies evidence of colonial influence - a railway track cutting through the plantation. This symbolizes both progress and exploitation, as it facilitated transportation for trade but also served as a reminder of British West Indies' control over Cuba. The presence of locomotives further emphasizes technological advancements during this period. Steam-powered trains were crucial for transporting goods efficiently across vast distances, connecting remote regions like these Caribbean islands with global markets. Overall, this print captures not only an important moment in Cuban history but also reflects broader themes such as colonialism and industrialization. It serves as a valuable visual document that allows us to delve into past industries and appreciate their impact on society today.
