This 1856 - 1858 photograph by Charles Piazzi Smyth, titled "Verzamelaars van cochenilleluizen te La Orotava", captures a scene of people collecting cochineal insects in La Orotava, Tenerife. The image, a small, detailed portrayal, shows figures gathered around tall palm trees, likely harvesting the insects from the prickly pear cacti. This image was likely part of a larger work, possibly a book or journal.
