Summary
| Description |
Français : Vue idéalisée d'une plantation sucrière aux Antilles au XVIIIe siècle, par Paolo Fumagalli, 1830. Reproduction d'une gravure de l'Encyclopédie de Diderot et d’Alembert (1751-1772).
Contenu de l'image : On distingue en haut à gauche la maison du maître, située en hauteur et dominant l’ensemble des installations. En contrebas se trouvent les cases des esclaves, organisées autour d’axes rectilignes, les fameuses « rues cases-nègres ». A droite de l'image se situent les bâtiments dédiés à la production de sucre : moulin à eau, relié à la sucrerie abritant les chaudières. Au-dessus, sont représentées la purgerie et l’étuve, bâtiments consacrés au raffinage et au séchage du sucre. Au centre de l'image, on peut voir au premier plan la "savane", partie de l’habitation non-cultivée, et à l'arrière les champs de canne à sucre. Dans cette représentation idéalisée des plantations, le travail forcé des esclaves n'est volontairement pas montré. On peut même distingué au premier plan un esclave noir en train de pécher.
English: Idealised view of an 18th Sugar Plantation in the West Indes, by Paolo Fumagalli, 1830. After an engraving of the Encyclopédie by Diderot and d’Alembert (1751-1772).
Image content: We can see at the top left the master's house, located high up and dominating all the facilities. Below are the slave huts, organized around rectilinear axes, the famous rue cases-nègres (negro-huts street). On the right of the image are the buildings dedicated to sugar production: water mill, connected to the sugar factory housing the boilers. Above, the purgery and the oven are represented, buildings dedicated to the refining and drying of sugar. In the center of the image, we can see the "savannah", part of the uncultivated estate, in the foreground, and the cane fields in the background. In this idealized representation of plantations, the forced labor of slaves is deliberately not shown. We can even see in the foreground a black slave sinning. |
