EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to a Brazilian sugar factory during the 1700s. The illustration, sourced from Les Indes Orientales et Occidentales, et Autres Lieux by Romeyn de Hooghe, beautifully depicts the intricate process of sugar cane production. The image begins with the cutting of the canes, which are then transported by oxcart to the mill for grinding. Here, a watermill crushes them before they undergo drying in an oven. Once dried, ox-power is employed to crush them once again before embarking on a challenging journey across mountains. As we delve deeper into this historical scene, we witness the refined canes being cooked in vats at the factory. The entire process showcases not only human ingenuity but also nature's abundance and its transformation into one of Brazil's most valuable commodities - sugar. The outdoor setting emphasizes how closely connected this industry was with farming and nature itself. Oxen play a vital role in transporting both raw materials and finished products throughout various stages of production. Through this remarkable visual representation captured by Hulton Archive/Getty Images, we gain insight into early industrial machinery and techniques that shaped Brazil's sugar industry centuries ago. This print serves as a testament to human innovation and perseverance while highlighting an important chapter in Brazil's rich history.
