1850s 1854 Brazil Cane Estate Grinding Machinery Manufacture Mill Patent Pernambuco Processing Sugar Worker Mornay
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image taken in 1854 showcases the interior of De Mornay's patent sugar-mill on the Carauna Estate in Pernambuco, Brazil. The mill house, a testament to the industrial revolution in the 19th century, is home to the innovative sugar-processing machinery patented by M.A. de Mornay. The mill, a significant addition to the Carauna Estate, was instrumental in the manufacture of sugar during the 1850s. The mill house's interior reveals a symphony of machinery, all working in harmony to extract sugar from the harvested cane. The large, cylindrical rollers, or crushers, are visible at the forefront, crushing the cane to release its sweet juice. The juice is then transported to the boiling vats, where it is heated and crystallized to form sugar. The mill house is bustling with activity, as workers diligently tend to the machinery, ensuring the smooth operation of the sugar production process. The mill, a marvel of engineering and innovation, was a critical component of the South American food industry during the 1850s. The sugar industry was a significant contributor to Brazil's economy, and the Carauna Estate, under the leadership of M.A. de Mornay, was at the forefront of this thriving sector. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the inner workings of a sugar mill during the 19th century, providing valuable insights into the production process and the lives of the workers who played a crucial role in transforming raw cane into the sweet, crystallized sugar we know today.
