Title: Cutting Sugar Canes, West Indies, 1903 [Go to resource]
Description: The idea of the trade card as a brightly coloured collectable picture came from America in the nineteenth century. In Britain trade cards had been usually black and white despite the arrival of multicoloured cards in Europe during the 1880s. The cigarette card and other 'collectables' result from the multicoloured trade cards. This card features men and women cutting sugar cane with large knives; it looks a difficult task, as we can see that the canes are twice the height of the workers. West Indian sugar was an important ingredient at Huntley & Palmers and deserves its place among the featured world harvests.
