EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant colour lithograph captures the bustling scene of a cotton harvest in German East Africa during the late 19th or early 20th century. The image, created by Wilhelm Kuhnert and featured in Hans Kraemer's book "Der Mensch und die Erde," provides a glimpse into the agricultural practices of this colonial territory. In the foreground, workers can be seen diligently picking cotton from the fields, their baskets filled to the brim with fluffy white fibers. The thatched huts of a nearby village provide shelter for these laborers as they toil under the hot African sun. This snapshot of daily life in a German colony showcases both the industry and hardships faced by those living and working in this region. The rich colours and intricate details of this print transport viewers back in time to an era marked by European imperialism and expansion into Africa. It serves as a reminder of the complex history of colonialism and its impact on both local populations and global economies. As we reflect on this historical image, we are reminded of the interconnectedness between nations and cultures, as well as the lasting legacy left behind by colonial powers such as Germany in East Africa.
