SUGAR, SLAVERY, AND TECHNOLOGY: THE MILL Brown University
[Waterdriven threeroller sugar mill], engraving. In José Rodrigues de Mello, De rebus rusticis brasilicis carminum libri quatuor. Lisbon, 1798. This plate is a celebration of the combined power of technology and water. The three roller vertical mill is placed within a gridlike space where everything seems measured and under control.
