EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history, showcasing the dedication and ingenuity of Captain Gabriel Mathieu Desclieux, a French Navy Officer whose actions sparked the entire Martinique Coffee Industry. In 1714, aboard his ship, Captain Desclieux made the bold decision to use his precious water ration to save a single coffee plant cutting.
His unwavering commitment to this seedling not only saved its life but also planted the seeds for an industry that would flourish for centuries to come. The image of Captain Desclieux carefully tending to the fragile plant on board is a testament to his passion and foresight.
Through his actions, he instigated a revolution in cultivation and consumption that would forever change the way we drink our favorite morning beverage. This historical moment captured by Mary Evans Picture Library serves as a reminder of how one person's determination can have far-reaching effects on society.
As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, we are reminded of the power of dedication and innovation in shaping our world. Captain Gabriel Mathieu Desclieux may have started with just one plant, but his legacy lives on in every cup of coffee enjoyed around the globe today.
