This photo print, titled "Manufacture of Sugar at Katipo - Making the panellas or pots to contain it, 1859" takes us back in time to witness an important aspect of African daily life. Painted by Thomas Baines in oil on canvas, this artwork showcases the traditional process of sugar production in a village called Katipo. The scene depicts African women engaged in the meticulous craft of creating panellas or pots used for containing sugar. Surrounding them are charming thatched huts and other rustic buildings that make up the village's landscape. The painting offers a glimpse into the exploration and discovery era as Baines accompanied Dr David Livingstone on an expedition along the Zambezi river. The inscription on the reverse side of the canvas provides valuable information about this particular moment captured by Baines.
