12. Bakelite Cinco Centavo Tokens Issued by Hacienda El Progreso

Description:: Bakelite/vulcanite tokens are extremely rare in Ecuador, but were a global phenomenon in the latter half of the 19th century. Five tokens were recovered, all hard vulcanized rubber (commonly called ebonite or vulcanite), with two examples of orange 20 centavo tokens, and three black five centavo tokens. The latter are all marked “ANACARSIS MEDINA/ CHANDUY and were the main form of coinage circulating on the hacienda during Cobos’ tenure. We know little of Anacarsis Medina, but assume he may have been an old business contact of Cobos’.

22. Triple Effect Vacuum Evaporator, Hacienda El Progreso

Description:: This photograph was taken by Capt. Rollo Beck in 1905. It is of a triple effect vacuum evaporator manufactured by McOnie Harvey & Co., Ltd., Glasgow. Sugar was concentrated by passing cane liquor through three vessels, each with an increasingly higher vacuum and lower temperature in order to achieve evaporation. Not only did the evaporator reduce the amount of required fuel through steam re-circulation and evaporation at lower temperatures, but it also protected the sugar product from destruction at higher temperatures.

30. Bakelite Cinco Centavo Token Issued by Hacienda El Progreso

Description:: Bakelite/vulcanite tokens are extremely rare in Ecuador, but were a global phenomenon in the latter half of the 19th century. Five tokens were recovered, all hard vulcanized rubber (commonly called ebonite or vulcanite), with two examples of orange 20 centavo tokens, and three black five centavo tokens. The latter are all marked “ANACARSIS MEDINA/ CHANDUY and were the main form of coinage circulating on the hacienda during Cobos’ tenure. We know little of Anacarsis Medina, but assume he may have been an old business contact of Cobos’.

31. Invasive Vegetation, Road to La Soledad, San Cristóbal, in 2014

Description:: Exotic invasives quickly colonize abandoned agricultural lands in the verdant landscapes of the highland ZUEs. This increases the effort required to bring farms back into production and incentivizes their abandonment. This wall of vines along the road leading to La Soledad, is typical of vegetative growth in the ZUE agricultural landscapes.
