A rare and early suite of photos related to coffee cultivation in Costa Rica in the 1880s. Present are photographs of coffee fields and trees, industrial machines, and portraits of workers. Most bear a manuscript caption verso, a few of which note the location a "Miller's farm."
Though uncredited here, we have located other examples of a few of the present photographs which are credited to the Paytner Brothers. Richard and John Paynter were from the United States, arriving in 1874 and first establishing Rudd y Paynter out of a shop in the Parque Central, where they also sold marble and art objects. In 1895 the studio changed its name to Paynter Bros.
