EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the historical significance and beauty of French West Indies - French Antilles - Fonds Saint Jacques, Sugar Housing du Pere Labat. The image transports us back to the 18th century, a time when sugar production was at its peak on the island of Martinique.
The Purgerie process shown in the photograph is a crucial step in obtaining sugar loaves from sugarcane. The intricate architecture of the sugar housing and the lush greenery surrounding it create a picturesque scene that highlights both the industrial and natural elements of this era.
