This image was created by the British artist William Clark, who was invited to Antigua by British planters to portray the production of sugarcane in a positive light. Clark intentionally left out many aspects of the slave's experience such as whipping, starvation and separation of families, and instead depicts an idealized pastoral view that was then sold to British and American white audiences.

During the Baptist War of 1831-2, 60,000 enslaved Jamaicans rose up against the island's brutal plantocracy, setting fire to almost 100 enslavers, including the Roehampton Estate depicted here. They fought for freedom and a living wage.

In this deeply disturbing image of two white women being served tea by an enslaved young man alongside the boiling cauldrons of a Cuban sugar plantation, we literally see the consumption of West Indian sugar made by slaves.
