EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white image captures the essence of a Cuban sugar plantation during the early 1900s. The scene shows a group of men and women, mostly of African descent, gathered around a field filled with towering sugarcane stalks. Oxen are hitched to a cart, ready to transport the harvested cane to the processing mill. The women, dressed in simple skirts and blouses, are bent over, carefully cutting the cane with machetes, while the men load the cart. The sun casts long shadows over the expansive field, highlighting the vastness of the plantation. This photograph, taken between 1900 and 1906, is a poignant reminder of the labor-intensive process of sugar production in Cuba during the height of the sugar industry. The image is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the lives of the workers and the agricultural methods used during this period. The exact creator of this photograph remains unknown, but it is believed to be the work of either Edwin H. Husband or William A. Livingstone, both American photographers who documented the Cuban sugar industry during this time. The photograph is a glass negative or dry plate negative, and is part of the collections of the Library of Congress.
