EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in the history of coffee cultivation, depicting Captain Gabriel de Clieu's journey to bring back a precious coffee plant to Martinique. Instructed by King Louis XIV in 1725, de Clieu is shown sharing his ration of water with the fragile seedling to save it from drought. The engraving from "The Illustrous Universe" in 1862 beautifully illustrates this act of kindness and determination.
Gabriel de Clieu, also known as De Clieux or Declieux, was the governor of Guadeloupe at the time and took on the daunting task of transporting the coffee plant across oceans to ensure its survival. His selfless gesture towards the seedling symbolizes not only his dedication to fulfilling his mission but also his understanding of the importance of nurturing new beginnings.
This historical moment marked a significant turning point in the spread of coffee cultivation throughout the Caribbean and beyond. It is a reminder that sometimes great achievements require sacrifice and perseverance, qualities exemplified by Captain Gabriel de Clieu in this remarkable story captured for eternity in this exquisite photo print.
