EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vibrant cover for a school exercise book, transporting us back to the enchanting sugarcane plantations of Guadeloupe in 1892. Created by an anonymous French artist from the 19th century, this colour lithograph captures the essence of life on a sugarcane plantation with remarkable detail and artistry. The image depicts a bustling scene filled with soldiers, sailors, and workers engaged in the arduous task of harvesting sugarcane. The lush green fields stretch as far as the eye can see, while towering palm trees sway gently in the tropical breeze. The colonial influence is evident through the presence of French soldiers and sailors, reminding us of Guadeloupe's status as a French overseas department during that time. The significance of sugar production is highlighted by this artwork - it was not only vital to Guadeloupe's economy but also played a significant role in shaping its history. This cover serves as both an educational tool and an artistic masterpiece, capturing the spirit and beauty of this Caribbean island. With its rich colors and intricate details, this print transports viewers to another era - one where sugarcane plantations were at their peak and colonial influences shaped daily life. It stands as a testament to both historical importance and artistic excellence – truly deserving its place within Bibliotheque Nationale's collection in Paris.
