Ingenio Intrado: A Glimpse into 19th Century Cuban Sugar Plantation Life This lithograph, titled "Ingenio Intrado," is an illustration created by Eduardo Laplante for the book "Libro de los Ingenios," published between 1855 and 1857. The image offers a vivid portrayal of daily life at a Cuban sugar plantation, known as an "ingenio," during the 19th century. The scene takes place in the bustling city of La Habana, Cuba, and is depicted under the warm, golden glow of daylight. The engraving showcases a horizontal composition, filled with rich colors and intricate details. Workers, both Cuban and American, are seen engaged in various tasks, reflecting the social and economic dynamics of the time. The title "Ingenio Intrado" translates to "Enclosed Sugar Mill," and the image captures the essence of the enclosed plantation grounds. The plantation's grand architecture, with its red-tiled roofs and whitewashed walls, stands proudly amidst the lush greenery and the sprawling sugar cane fields. The image provides a unique window into the past, offering insights into the daily routines, social structures, and economic activities that defined the sugar industry in Cuba during the 1800s. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this lithograph make it an essential piece of historical documentation and an artistic masterpiece. This image is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of Cuba, and serves as a reminder of the significant role that sugar production played in shaping the country's economy and society during the 19th century.
