EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Lavadouro de Cafe, (Washing Coffee), 1895" offers a glimpse into the rich agricultural heritage of Brazil. Taken by artist Axel Frick, this image showcases the laborious process of washing coffee beans on a plantation in Sao Paulo during the late 19th century. In this outdoor scene, men can be seen diligently working under the bright Brazilian sun. They are fully engaged in their task, using tools such as rakes to ensure that every bean is thoroughly cleaned before drying. The horizon stretches out behind them, emphasizing the vastness of this coffee plantation. The monochrome composition adds a timeless quality to the photograph, transporting viewers back to an era when farming was predominantly manual labor. Each man's portrait reflects determination and resilience as they contribute to Brazil's booming coffee industry. This historic print not only captures a specific moment in time but also serves as a reminder of the importance of agriculture in shaping societies throughout history. It is through images like these that we gain insight into our past and appreciate the hard work and dedication required for sustenance and economic growth. As part of Gustavo Koenigswald's collection from Sao Paulo in 1895, this photograph stands as a testament to both artistic expression and historical documentation. Its presence allows us to reflect on how far we have come while honoring those who laid down foundations upon which modern society thrives today.
