EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1875, offering a rare glimpse into the daily life of workers on a cotton plantation in the American South. The wood engraving, created by Edwin Austin Abbey and reproduced here with remarkable detail, showcases an important aspect of Southern agriculture during Reconstruction. In this scene, we witness African American men and women diligently sowing seeds while using hoes to cover them in the rich soil.

The image captures not only the physical labor involved but also hints at the complex social dynamics that existed during this time period. The Granger Collection has expertly preserved this historical artifact, allowing us to appreciate its significance today. As we study this photograph print closely, it serves as a reminder of America's agricultural heritage and offers insight into how cotton production shaped society in the late 19th century. Whether you are an art enthusiast or a history buff, "COTTON PLANTATION" transports you back in time to experience firsthand what life was like for those who worked tirelessly on these sprawling plantations.
