English: 272. Sugar Cane (p. 514). Author: Solvyns, Les Hindoûs: IV.8.2.
  • The complete Solvyns etchings were published about 200 years ago. They are in three editions. The two major ones have 250 etchings from his Calcutta edition; and 292 etchings from his Les Hindoûs edition (etched in Paris after Solvyns return from India to Europe). In description above, the spelling used in Solvyns's description is preserved.
  • The complete etchings collections of François Balthazar Solvyns, a Flemish artist, include musical instruments, people classified by different occupations and religion and class. The collections include a self portrait where Solvyns is with his servants.
  • Solvyns in this etching shows a sugar cane farm and sugar production in India, in the 1790s. Behind the work area is a sugar cane farm. Some harvested sugar cane stalks are on the left side. A manual press with people shows juice being prepared from sugarcane. To the right side are two people attending vats on earthenware oven to produce jaggery and raw sugar.
