EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View of a Distillery on the Island of Guam" takes us back in time to the early 19th century. The image, engraved by Pomel and published in 1825, showcases the intricate process of rum production on this American Pacific island. The scene is bustling with activity as workers can be seen laboring diligently in their traditional thatched-roof distillery. A large oven stands at the center, emanating warmth and filling the air with an intoxicating aroma. It is here that molasses are cooked and transformed into liquid gold - rum. The production line is well-organized, with workers carefully pouring the distilled alcohol into amphorae for storage. The skilled labourers ensure every step of the process is meticulously carried out, from boiling to distilling to storing. This image not only captures a moment in history but also highlights the importance of craftsmanship and dedication required to create such a beloved spirit. It serves as a testament to Guam's rich cultural heritage and its contribution to rum production during this era. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving, we are transported back in time, witnessing firsthand the artistry involved in creating one of life's most cherished libations – rum.
