Coolies picking coffee on Sir Thomas Lipton's estate, at Dambutenne, interior Ceylon
Underwood & Underwood, 1903
Oil on canvas, Library of Congress

Coffee as global agricultural object — Brazilian fazenda canvases, Caribbean plantation lithographs, Indonesian and African origin views. We treat the category with curatorial care: the visual document is unique, the labor system depicted is part of the history, and we name it when the iconography asks for it.
