EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Copra making, Samoa, 1899" takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century agriculture in the Pacific Islands. Captured by the talented Burton Brothers, this image showcases a group of hardworking men engaged in the laborious task of copra production. Underneath the scorching sun, these dedicated workers can be seen sitting outside a farmhouse amidst piles of coconuts. Dressed in traditional clothing and donning wide-brimmed hats to shield themselves from the intense heat, they skillfully chop away at the fruit on chopping blocks. With focused determination etched on their faces, they expertly cut through each coconut to extract its valuable copra. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia and timelessness to this scene from a bygone era. The print beautifully captures not only the physical labor involved but also conveys a sense of community and shared purpose among these Samoan men. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back to an age when manual work was essential for survival. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' resilience and resourcefulness in utilizing natural resources for sustenance. This exquisite print is truly a testament to Burton Brothers' artistic prowess and their ability to immortalize moments that would otherwise fade into history's forgotten pages.
