EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Implements for harvesting cocoa pods" takes us back to the 19th century when agriculture played a vital role in society. The detailed illustration showcases an array of tools used in the process of harvesting cocoa pods, which were essential for producing one of our favorite indulgences - chocolate. The print features various implements meticulously arranged, highlighting their importance in this labor-intensive task. Knives, both sharp and sturdy, stand out as key weapons wielded by farmers during the harvest. These armaments were not meant for defense but rather served as indispensable cutlery to skillfully extract cocoa beans from their protective pods. Displayed alongside these work tools are other elements that contribute to the overall ambiance of this historical scene. An indoor plant adds a touch of natural beauty while emphasizing the botanical aspect of cocoa cultivation. Meanwhile, crockery and sweets hint at the eventual transformation of these humble beans into delectable chocolates found in sweet shops and candy stores. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are transported back in time to witness a crucial moment in food history - where science meets tradition and hard work yields delicious rewards. This image serves as a reminder that every bite of chocolate carries with it centuries worth of agricultural expertise and human ingenuity.
