EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a sugar mill in the 18th century, as depicted in "New voyage to the Isles of America" by Father Labat. The intricate engraving showcases the architectural beauty and complexity of these mills that played a significant role in the Caribbean's history. The image transports us back to an era where sugar production was at its peak, highlighting both its economic importance and dark legacy of enslavement. The presence of horses adds another layer of intrigue, symbolizing their crucial role in powering these mills. Located in Fort-de-France, Martinique's Schoelcher Library, this photograph is a testament to France's colonial past and offers valuable insights into life on plantations during that time. It serves as a reminder of how deeply intertwined sugar production was with exploitation and bondage. Leonard de Selva skillfully captures not only the grandeur but also the somber reality associated with this industry. Through his lens, we are reminded of the animals who were part of this process - farm animals working tirelessly alongside enslaved individuals. As we admire this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder, let us reflect on our shared history and recognize how far we have come since then. This print serves as an important historical document that invites contemplation about our past while inspiring hope for a more equitable future.
