EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling factorerie Maurel and Prom in Boulam. The image showcases the laborious process of collating and processing peanuts, palm almond, and rubber. Engraved by Taylor after a photograph, this artwork was originally featured in the story "Voyage dans la Senegambie et la Guinee portuguese" by Captain A. Brosselard. The scene depicted here is a testament to the colonial era's manufacturing technology and its impact on Africa. It offers a glimpse into the intricate workings of a factory that played a significant role in shaping local economies during that period. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of native African labor within this industrial setting. It highlights both their resilience and contribution to an industry dominated by European powers like Portugal. As we observe this historical moment frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of how far we have come since then. This print sparks curiosity about the lives led by those who worked tirelessly behind these factory walls. With its rich detail and evocative composition, this artwork transports us back to an era when colonialism reigned supreme but also prompts reflection on our progress towards more equitable societies today.
