Breaking Cocoa, Trinidad, early 20th century - A Glimpse into the Rich History of Cacao in Trinidad and Tobago
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in the cocoa industry of Trinidad during the early 20th century. In this image, workers can be seen diligently processing cocoa beans on a plantation. The unknown creator beautifully depicts the laborious task of breaking cocoa beans by hand. Cacao, or cocoa, has played an integral role in shaping the socio-economic development of Trinidad and Tobago for over two centuries. Introduced by the Spanish in 1525 with the planting of Criollo variety trees, it has since become an essential part of their cultural heritage. The postcard itself is part of Series 8 from S. P. G. , which stands for The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. This Church of England missionary organization was active throughout Britain's Atlantic territories during the 18th and 19th centuries. The hand-colored print showcases both men and women working together to harvest and process these precious beans that would eventually contribute to Trinidad's thriving chocolate industry. It serves as a testament to their dedication and hard work amidst lush tropical surroundings. As we admire this historical photograph today, we are reminded not only of its aesthetic beauty but also its significance as a window into our past. It allows us to appreciate how nature, religion, industry, and people intertwined on these plantations—the very foundations upon which modern-day Trinidadian society was built.
