EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the raw energy and determination of the Brazilian coffee porters at work in the bustling port of Santos, Brazil. The year is 1900, and the scene unfolds at the quay side where sacks of freshly harvested coffee beans, each weighing approximately 30 kg, await transportation to waiting ships for export. The porters, dressed in simple work clothes and wearing straw hats to shield themselves from the tropical sun, work in unison to load the heavy sacks onto the ship. Their powerful backs and broad shoulders are put to the test as they lift, carry, and stack the sacks with precision and speed. The total weight of the coffee being loaded in this image is an impressive 302 kg. The port of Santos, located in the southern coast of Brazil, has long been a hub for coffee trade, with Santos being the primary port for exporting Brazilian coffee to the world. Coffee was, and still is, a major commodity in Brazilian economy, and the labor-intensive process of loading and unloading the ships was a critical component of the trade. This historical image offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the strength and resilience of the Brazilian porters who played a crucial role in the global coffee trade. Their hard work and dedication helped to fuel the world's coffee addiction and shaped the economic landscape of Brazil and South America as a whole.
