1890231711890. 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.

A depiction of native peasants and a medallion complete this pleasant map. John Tallis 7 November 1817 3 June 1876 was an English cartographic publisher. His company John Tallis and Company published views maps and atlases in London from roughly 1838 to 1851. Tallis set up as a publisher with Frederick Tallis in Cripplegate in 1842; the business moved to Smithfield in 1846 and was dissolved in 1849. From 1851 to 1854 Tallis operated as John Tallis and Company. He started The illustrated news of the world and national portrait gallery of eminent personages in 1858 selling it for £1370 in 1861; it folded in 1863. Wikipedia The most important project John Tallis undertook was the 'Illustrated Atlas' from 1851. The original map we offer here was part of this exceptional Atlas and all the maps it contained are still today considered as the last reminder of an era of lavish map production. Tallis worked the project together with John Rapkin 1815-1876 and it was Rapkin's style and talent that we have to thank for when we marvel at these maps today. What makes these maps so special is the detail of engraved vignettes that surround the map and often show indigenous scenes people in their environment and even more so historical buildings or historical views of towns and cities architecture and landscape. The project of 'The Illustrated Atlas' was designed to be finished just in time for the anxiously awaited "Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations" or The Great Exhibition sometimes referred to as the Crystal Palace Exhibition in reference to the temporary structure in which it was held was an international exhibition that took place in Hyde Park London from 1 May to 11 October 1851. It was the first in a series of World's Fairs exhibitions of culture and industry that became popular in the 19th century and it was a much anticipated event. The Great Exhibition was organized by Henry Cole and Prince Albert husband of the reigning monarch Queen Victoria. It was attended by numerous notable figures of the time including Charles Darwin Samuel Colt members of the Orléanist Royal Family and the writers Charlotte Brontë Charles Dickens Lewis Carroll George Eliot and Alfred Tennyson. Music for the opening was under the direction of Sir George Thomas Smart and the continuous music from the exhibited organs for the Queen's procession was "under the superintendence of William Sterndale Bennett".
