EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases the meticulous cultivation of arrowroot on the estate of Messrs Raw and Faggitt in Durban, Port Natal, South Africa. The intricate illustration captures the essence of agriculture and farming practices during this time period, highlighting the dedication and hard work required to cultivate tropical plants like arrowroot. Arrowroot, known for its starchy properties derived from the Maranta arundinacea plant, was a valuable crop grown on estates like this one in South Africa. The image provides a glimpse into the labor-intensive process involved in nurturing these plants to produce high-quality starch. The lush tropical setting depicted in this print serves as a reminder of the rich biodiversity found in regions like Durban, where exotic crops thrived under careful cultivation. The attention to detail in this engraving reflects both the artistic skill of the illustrator and the importance placed on documenting agricultural practices for historical purposes. As we admire this historical artwork, we are transported back to a time when farming was not just a livelihood but also an art form. The legacy of Messrs Raw and Faggitt lives on through images like these that capture their dedication to cultivating arrowroot and contributing to South Africa's agricultural heritage.
