Steam rises from the boiling vats; one man stands on top of a brick container, and a woman carries a basket, possibly of finished loaves of sugar. Plate VI from "Ten Views in the Island of Antigua, in which are represented the process of sugar making, and the employment of the negroes ... From drawings made by W Clark, etc" written and illustrated by William Clark.
