EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "GATL2A-00015" takes us back in time to the 1860s and transports us to a tobacco plantation nestled in the heart of Cuba. Hand-colored with meticulous detail, this woodcut illustration from the 19th century captures the essence of traditional farming practices during that era. The image showcases a picturesque scene of daily life on the estate, where a rider on horseback traverses through lush fields filled with vibrant green tobacco crops. The colonial influence is evident as we witness a Cuban worker tending to these precious plants under the scorching Caribbean sun. History comes alive within this snapshot as it reminds us of Cuba's rich past as a Spanish colony. It serves as an artistic representation of how agriculture played an integral role in shaping daily life on this beautiful Caribbean island during that period. Through this vintage artwork, we are transported into another world - one where horses were relied upon for transportation and labor-intensive tasks like cultivating tobacco crops. This glimpse into history allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind this hand-colored woodcut and gain insight into how people lived centuries ago in Latin America
