1887 Bell Edward Farm Farmer Kemble Louisiana Plantation Ring Rural South East Sugar Sugar Cane Windsor

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "SUGAR PLANTATION, c1887" takes us back in time to the late 19th century rural Louisiana. The image showcases a significant moment on a sugar plantation as an African American worker rings the plantation bell. This line engraving, created by Edward Windsor Kemble in 1887, beautifully captures the essence of life on this farm. The exterior setting transports us to the heart of the South-Eastern countryside where sugar cane thrived. The hardworking farmer stands proudly beside the bell, symbolizing his role as both guardian and conductor of daily activities on the plantation. With one hand gripping the rope and another poised mid-air after striking it against the metal surface, he exudes strength and determination. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this engraving; from depicting intricate patterns on buildings to capturing subtle expressions on faces. Through Kemble's artistry, we gain insight into a pivotal era when agriculture played a vital role in shaping society. As we admire this historical piece from The Granger Collection's archives, let us reflect upon its significance beyond commercial use. It serves as a reminder of our shared past - one that encompasses both triumphs and struggles - while honoring those who labored tirelessly within these plantations.
