VIBE:
By the 1740s, Indigofera tinctoria had become the second-largest export of the Carolinas — a deep blue dye prized in every European court. Eliza Lucas Pinckney is credited with introducing the crop at sixteen, a fact celebrated in most textbooks. The same textbooks tend to be quieter about the enslaved West African workers whose technical knowledge of indigo cultivation and fermentation made the entire industry possible, and whose hands did the work. The plant is beautiful. The accounting is not. This print belongs anywhere honest history is welcome.

Also available as part of the What Built America set of 3 — https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/4506871897/vintage-botanical-print-what-built
