1940s & 50s - ROOT CROPS AND LEGUMES IN THE CARIBBEAN

Author: Caribbean Commission

Publisher: Washington, DC (USA), Caribbean Commission

 

Published in 1947 by the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, Fisheries and Forestry of the Caribbean Research Council, the book serves to highlight the particular position of Caribbean islands and their tendency at the time to rely on export crops rather than food crops. The book is fascinating both for its political insights as well as the presentation of practical information on root crops and legumes in the different island States of the Caribbean.

 

The cover highlights, with bold fonts, monochromatic design and structured square spaces, the technical aspect of this Crop Inquiry Series publication. This classical layout with an overall sense of controlled space underlines the functionality of a design that reflects the practicality of the content.
