EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1889 with this engraving of Machado's cigar factory in Jamaica. The image transports us to a bygone era, where the art of cigar production was a meticulous and labor-intensive process. In this scene, we see workers wetting the leaves, a crucial step in the creation of fine cigars. The men are focused on their task, their hands moving deftly as they prepare the tobacco for rolling. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and dedication, as each worker plays a vital role in crafting these prized products. The setting itself is evocative of the Caribbean island life - vibrant and bustling with activity. The lush greenery surrounding the factory hints at the tropical paradise that is Jamaica, while also serving as a reminder of the natural resources that fuelled industries like tobacco production during this time period. This engraving from ''The Graphic'' offers us a glimpse into history, showcasing not just a place of work but also a way of life. It captures an essence of craftsmanship and tradition that still resonates today. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the rich heritage and cultural significance attached to practices such as smoking and tobacco production in the 19th century Caribbean.
