1910réf. 238911910. Pineapple plantation photo archive circa 1910s documenting cultivation harvest and transport on an unidentified tropical plantation during the expansion of commercial pineapple production for export markets and black sharecropping labor. The photographs concentrate on the agricultural cycle rather than plantation buildings or domestic life moving from densely planted acreage and individual ripening fruit to large accumulations of harvested pineapples and a mule drawn wagon loaded for transport. Pineapple cultivation expanded substantially in the Caribbean and Hawaii during the early twentieth century making the crop increasingly visible within American commercial agriculture and food consumption. Photo archive of 10 silver gelatin photographs each approximately 3 x 4 inches Caribbean location circa 1910s. Several photographs survey extensive fields planted almost entirely in pineapple including broad views in which rows of spiked plants extend toward distant hills and close studies showing mature fruit rising from individual plants. Other images record the harvest after removal from the field: pineapples are arranged in substantial piles beside cultivated acreage while two white men pose before one accumulation holding individual fruit. Another photograph shows a mule drawn wooden wagon filled above its sideboards with harvested pineapples with one white man standing beside the wagon another seated atop the load and a black man positioned with the mule team further highlights post emancipation plantation labor. The men's differing positions within the harvest scenes preserve visible evidence of diverse groups participating in the plantation's agricultural economy alongside the animal powered transportation used to move a bulky commercial crop from the field. Commercial pineapple production was developing rapidly across several regions connected to the United States Hawaii and the Carbons during this period. The photographs belong to that broader transformation of pineapple from a geographically restricted tropical fruit into an increasingly standardized export commodity but neither crop morphology nor the visible terrain distinguishes securely among these producing regions. More specifically the images record the material stages behind that trade: dense monocrop planting maturation in the field manual harvesting accumulation of fruit and transportation by mule drawn wagon. Light handling wear occasional edge and corner losses minor curling and scattered toning; image surfaces remain generally clear with strong detail. Overall in good condition. A concentrated photographic record of early twentieth century pineapple agriculture showing the field harvest labor and transport required to move a tropical crop toward commercial distribution. unknown
1890réf. 231711890. Stereoview archive of the post-emancipation Caribbean showing how the islands were marketed to western viewers through plantation labor export agriculture civic spectacle and catastrophe. As a group these photos function not only as an ethnographic travel archive but as evidence of the visual economy that followed slavery. The British West Indies moved through emancipation in 1834 to 1838 the French Caribbean in 1848 Puerto Rico in 1873 and Cuba in 1886 yet plantation production remained central to regional life well into the early twentieth century. These stereoviews preserve a colonial way of seeing in which Black and Afro-Caribbean labor rural discipline and extractive agriculture remained the background condition of "tropical" beauty and commercial modernity. Cuba's sugar economy in particular expanded through the nineteenth century and slavery was not abolished there until 1886 while Weyler's later reconcentration policy during the Cuban War of Independence violently reorganized rural life. Martinique after 1848 likewise shifted into new labor regimes including imported workers from India and China. Archive of 11 stereoview cards late 1890s to early 1900s depicting Cuba Jamaica Martinique Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. Most black and white with a few colorized. Each measure 3.5" x 7". All with captions on the margins. "Reconcentrado Farming Scene Province of Havana Cuba" links agricultural production to the brutal displacements of Spain's reconcentration campaign; "Cutting sugar cane Montego Bay Jamaica W.I." records cane labor in a colony where emancipation had not ended plantation dependency; and "Harvesting Coconuts Porto Rico" likewise frames Caribbean land through export work rather than local life. Other views extend that economic framing through cacao and coffee scenes while the paired Havana cards shift into urban leisure and public display including "Beautiful Central Park Havana Cuba" and "Holiday in Havana Cuba" the latter with both Cuban and American flags visible a telling image of the new imperial order after 1898. The disaster views from Martinique and the Lesser Antilles show how stereoview publishers also turned Caribbean destruction into consumable spectacle. the Morne Rouge card is accompanied on the reverse by the grim printed text "Dead bodies which were to be seen in Morne Rouge." while the wider context is the 1902 eruptions of Mount Pelée in Martinique and La Soufrière on Saint Vincent two catastrophes that killed roughly 30000 and 1600 people respectively and devastated local communities and agriculture. Some corner wear light toning scattered surface and edge wear. Overall very good condition. This collection gives direct visual representation of Caribbean history Atlantic slavery and emancipation plantation labor and U.S. imperial expansion in the circum-Caribbean preserving the transition from slavery to post-abolition labor. unknown

In reply to "An Address to the Members of the New Parliament on the proceedings of the Colonial Department." which held that if slaves were freed they would not work and as a consequence the colonialist's properties would fall into decay through lack of labourers.

1928réf. 219181928. Puerto Rico photo archive circa 1910s and 1928 documents colonial-era social conditions and hurricane destruction in the decades after the United States took control of the island. The archive centers on two related subjects: a large group portrait of Puerto Rican adults and children gathered outside a long arched building and press images of San Juan after the September 13 1928 San Felipe Segundo hurricane. The photographs provide visual evidence of everyday poverty built environment disaster damage and public movement through wreckage during a period shaped by U.S. civil government under the Foraker Act of 1900 and U.S. citizenship without voting representation in Congress under the Jones-Shafroth Act of 1917. Puerto Rico photo archive. Puerto Rico circa late 1910s and 1928. Three silver gelatin photographs with two images printed on one press sheet. Sizes range from 5 x 9 inches to 8.5 x 11 inches. The 1928 press photograph contains two stacked photojournalistic views of San Juan after the hurricane showing torn corrugated roofing broken utility poles damaged structures debris-filled streets and residents including children and laborers moving through the wreckage. The larger earlier image shows a white man standing before a long arched tenement-style or institutional building surrounded by Puerto Rican women men and numerous children many barefoot and wearing worn or minimal clothing; the image appears posed or observational but the man's role is not identified. The San Felipe Segundo hurricane struck Puerto Rico on September 13 1928 as a Category 5 storm and caused 312 reported deaths widespread housing destruction and several hundred thousand people left homeless giving the press images strong value as disaster documentation within a colonial setting. The earlier group photograph broadens the archive beyond catastrophe recording visible poverty dress housing and racialized colonial social relations without requiring unsupported identification of the white figure. Some edge wear tape on margins of smaller image and original editor's markings en verso to press photograph; very good. A compact Puerto Rico photo archive linking colonial-era social conditions with one of the island's most destructive twentieth-century hurricanes. unknown
