EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a moment in the rich history of Wynaad, a region in the Malabar district of southern India, which was once known for its abundant coffee plantations and unexpected gold finds. The image, published in the Illustrated London News in December 1880, depicts servants of the Richmond Estate diligently carrying sacks of coffee beans and sweeping the grounds. The discovery of gold in Wynaad began in 1876 and continued until 1886, making it a significant period in the region's history. The Richmond Estate, where this scene unfolds, was not only famous for its coffee production but also for the gold mines that lay beneath its soil. The discovery of gold brought about a surge of interest and activity in the region, leading to a boom in the import of labor and resources. The workers, depicted in this engraving, were likely among the many who came to Wynaad in search of employment in the coffee and gold industries. The discovery of gold in Wynaad was a historical event that added to the region's allure and significance. The gold finds in Wynaad were a source of excitement and economic opportunity, not just for the locals but also for the British colonial rulers and international investors. The image of the Richmond Estate's servants carrying coffee and sweeping the grounds serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of the coffee and gold industries in Wynaad during this period. This engraving, with its intricate details and vivid depiction of daily life on the Richmond Estate, offers a glimpse into the past and sheds light on the unique history of Wynaad, a region that was once a hub of coffee production and gold finds in southern India.
