EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the lush beauty of a coffee plantation on the island of Sao Tome in the Gulf of Guinea during the 19th century. Founded by Alvaro Caminha in 1493, Sao Tome was a Portuguese colony known for its rich agricultural fields and stunning landscapes.
The image is taken from "El Congo y la Creacion del Estado Independiente de este nombre," a historical work by Henry M. Stanley published in Barcelona around 1890. The engraving provides a glimpse into the central role that coffee plantations played in shaping the economy and history of this region during that time.
As we gaze upon this panoramic view of Sao Tome's agricultural fields, we are transported back to an era when European colonial powers like Portugal reigned over vast territories in Africa. The intricate network of plots and allotments depicted here speaks to the complex relationship between colonialism, agriculture, and economic development in Western Africa.
This print serves as a reminder of both the beauty and brutality inherent in Africa's history, offering us a window into a world shaped by exploration, exploitation, and empire-building. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of those who labored on these plantations, their stories woven into the fabric of our shared past.
