EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Collecting Cocoa, Venezuela, 1892" takes us back in time to witness the rich agricultural heritage of South America. The image showcases a vibrant plantation scene where workers are diligently harvesting cocoa from towering trees. The chromolithograph captures the essence of nature's bounty with its vivid colors and intricate details. The lush greenery surrounding the plantation provides a stunning backdrop for this snapshot of history. In the late 19th century, cocoa was not only a vital source of food and drink but also an integral part of South American culture and economy. This image serves as a testament to the significant role agriculture played during that era. The hardworking individuals depicted in this print exemplify the dedication required to gather this precious crop. Their occupation as plantation workers highlights their essential contribution to society at that time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Heritage Images' collection, we are transported to Venezuela, where cocoa cultivation thrived in the late 19th century. This photograph offers us a glimpse into both the profession and location that defined an entire industry during this period. Preserved by Oxford Science Archive, this historical artifact allows us to appreciate our ancestors' commitment towards sustaining their communities through agriculture. It reminds us of how far we have come while honoring those who paved the way for future generations in cultivating one of life's most beloved treats - cocoa.
