EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sugarmills, Antilles" takes us back to the 19th century in the picturesque Caribbean. The vibrant colors of this engraving by Vittorio Raineri bring to life the bustling trade and machinery that fueled the sugar industry in the West Indies. The image showcases a complex system of mechanics at work, with gears and cogs intricately interlocking to power these mighty mills. Each detail is meticulously captured, from the roue dentee (gear wheel) to the cog engravings, highlighting both the artistry and functionality of these machines. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported into a world where commerce thrived on sugar production. These sugarmills were not just structures but symbols of an entire industry that shaped economies and societies during that era. The private collection holding this print, The Stapleton Collection, has preserved this piece as a testament to our shared history. It reminds us of how far we have come technologically while also acknowledging the labor-intensive processes involved in producing such commodities. Bridgeman Images has done justice in capturing every intricate detail through their lens. This print serves as a reminder of our past and invites us to reflect on how industries like sugar played significant roles in shaping cultures across time.
