EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'Int. of New and Old Sugar Mills, Puerto Rico, 1912,' captures the essence of Puerto Rico's rich agricultural history. Taken by renowned American photographers Harris & Ewing, the image showcases the intriguing contrast between the new and old sugar mills. The new mill, with its modern machinery and advanced technology, stands proudly in the foreground, symbolizing progress and innovation. In stark contrast, the old mill, with its weathered walls and rusted machinery, represents the traditions and heritage of the past. The photograph offers a glimpse into the bustling world of sugar production in Puerto Rico during the early 20th century. The interior of the mills is filled with towering stacks of sugarcane, waiting to be processed. The air is thick with the sweet scent of the cane, mingling with the steam and industrial grit. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of workers, their faces obscured by protective headgear, as they operate the machinery with focused determination. The photograph is a testament to the harmonious coexistence of nature and technology in agriculture. The lush, green plants of the sugarcane fields stretch out towards the horizon, providing the raw material for the mills. The machines, in turn, transform the cane into the sweet, golden liquid that would become a staple of Puerto Rican and American life. This image, part of the Harris Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, is a reminder of the important role Puerto Rico played in the agricultural landscape of the United States during the 1910s. It also serves as a visual bridge between the past and the present, inviting us to reflect on the enduring legacy of sugar production in Puerto Rico and its continued significance in the global economy.
