EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "At Work Among The Sugar-Canes, 1912" transports us to the vibrant world of sugar cane harvesting in the West Indies during the early 20th century. The artist, Charles Robinson, skillfully captures a scene from Alice Talwin Morris' book "More About The Empire" showcasing the laborious process of extracting this sweet commodity from nature's bounty. In this monochrome masterpiece, we witness a group of hardworking women dressed in colorful attire as they toil amidst towering sugar canes. Their red skirts add a striking contrast against the lush greenery surrounding them. With determination etched on their faces, these local workers epitomize resilience and dedication. The image not only highlights the beauty of nature but also sheds light on an important aspect of agriculture and industry within British imperialism. It serves as a poignant reminder of how individuals played crucial roles in sustaining vast plantations that fueled economic growth during that era. Through this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an age when manual labor was at its peak and communities relied on one another for survival. This remarkable piece by Charles Robinson is more than just a visual representation; it is an ode to those who shaped history through their sweat and perseverance while working among the sugar-canes.
