EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken circa 1910, a bustling scene unfolds in the port city of Las Palmas on the beautiful Canary Island of Gran Canaria, part of the Canaries in the Atlantic Ocean. The image captures the daily labor of the local community as they meticulously pack bananas into wooden crates for export. The banana trade was a significant economic force during this era, and Gran Canaria, with its favorable climate and fertile soil, was an ideal location for banana cultivation. The photograph reveals a diverse group of people, both men and women, working together in a collaborative effort. Children, some as young as five or six years old, can be seen helping their elders, adding a poignant touch to the image. The adults, dressed in simple, practical clothing, focus intently on their task, their faces reflecting determination and concentration. The crates, piled high and neatly arranged, await the arrival of cargo ships that will transport the precious fruit to markets across Europe and beyond. The scene exudes a sense of industry and productivity, as the community comes together to ensure the successful export of their valuable commodity. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily lives of the people of Las Palmas during the 1910s. It is a poignant reminder of the rich history of banana trade in the Canary Islands and the crucial role it played in shaping the economic and social fabric of the region.
