EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate process of sugar production in a bygone era. Titled "A Sugar Mill and the Production of Sugar Loaves" this plate 14 from Nova Reperta (New Discoveries) takes us back to the early 17th century, when Philip Galle skillfully engraved this scene. The image transports us to a bustling sugar plantation, where industrious workers are seen engaged in various tasks. The focal point is undoubtedly the grand water wheel, majestically turning as it powers the machinery within the mill. Its rhythmic motion symbolizes both progress and tradition. Surrounding the water wheel, we witness an array of activities that contribute to creating those coveted sugar loaves. From pressing sugarcane to feeding it into furnaces for boiling and cutting or chopping it into manageable pieces – every step is meticulously executed with expertise and precision. Jan van der Straet's artistic vision brings life to this historical moment, capturing not only the physical labor but also highlighting its significance in shaping industries during that time period. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance in harnessing nature's resources for economic gain. As we admire this remarkable artwork from a private collection, let us appreciate how far we have come since then while acknowledging our debt to those who paved the way for modern industry.
