EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to British India in 1876, providing a glimpse into the fascinating world of tea cultivation. The engraving showcases various stages of this intricate process, highlighting the meticulous efforts involved in producing one of the most beloved beverages worldwide. The first image transports us to the Ging Tea Plantation in Darjeeling, where lush greenery surrounds workers diligently plucking tea leaves. In the second frame, we witness these leaves being carefully weighed before moving on to be rolled by hand in the third depiction. The fourth image reveals an artisan skillfully rolling tea leaves using traditional methods. As we progress through this visual journey, we observe withering taking place under the warm rays of sunlight and later within a factory setting. The sixth scene introduces machinery that aids in rolling while maintaining consistency and quality. Finally, sorting is depicted using advanced machinery for efficient processing. This 19th-century engraving not only captures historical significance but also serves as a testament to Victorian arts and culture. Its retro-styled aesthetic evokes nostalgia for a bygone era when craftsmanship was highly valued. Through this vintage print, Arkheia allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind engravement techniques and gain insight into how British India played a pivotal role in shaping global tea production during this time period.
