EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by an American photographer in Cuba around 1910, transports us to a time when sugar cane was loaded onto carts with the help of hardworking individuals. The image showcases the essence of agriculture in South America, specifically Latin America's vibrant island nation - Cuba. In this snapshot from history, we witness a group of laborers diligently loading sugar cane onto a cart. Among them is a child, reminding us that even at such a young age, children were involved in farm work. The scene takes place on a picturesque farmhouse surrounded by sprawling farms and ranches. The workers are tradesmen who dedicate their lives to manual labor on the plantation fields. Their faces reflect determination and resilience as they carry out their tasks under the scorching Caribbean sun. This photo captures not only their physical strength but also their cultural heritage as Afro-Caribbean and Afro-Cuban individuals contribute to the country's rich farming traditions. The presence of oxen signifies traditional methods still employed during this era for transporting heavy loads across vast sugarcane crops. It serves as a reminder that technology had yet to revolutionize agricultural practices at that time. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of history within its private collection, allowing us to appreciate the tireless efforts behind one of Latin America's most important cash crops - sugar cane. Through this photograph, we gain insight into an era where hard work defined life on Cuban plantations while celebrating those who dedicated themselves to sustaining this vital
