Painting Description
"A Settlement on the Upper Pomeroon, Sambura, Guiana - Caribs Crushing Sugar Cane and Making Cassava Bread" is an illustration from the 19th-century work "Indian Tribes of Guiana" by Reverend William Henry Brett, an English missionary and ethnographer who spent many years in British Guiana, now known as Guyana. Brett's book, first published in 1868, provides a detailed account of the customs, social structures, and daily life of the indigenous peoples of Guiana, with a particular focus on the Carib, Arawak, and Warrau tribes.
The illustration in question depicts a scene of domestic industry among the Carib people, showcasing their traditional methods of processing sugar cane and making cassava bread. Sugar cane crushing was a common activity in many indigenous communities, where the juice extracted was used for various purposes, including the production of beverages. Cassava bread, made from the root of the cassava plant, is a staple food in the diet of many Amerindian tribes in South America and was a significant aspect of their subsistence practices.
Brett's illustrations serve as valuable historical records of the indigenous peoples of Guiana during the colonial period. They offer insights into the technology, economy, and cultural practices of the time, reflecting the daily life and survival skills of the native populations before the widespread influence of European customs and modernization. "A Settlement on the Upper Pomeroon, Sambura, Guiana - Caribs Crushing Sugar Cane and Making Cassava Bread" is not only an important visual document for anthropologists and historians but also for those interested in the art and iconography of indigenous South American cultures.
