EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 1900s with this vintage print of a cigar factory in Kingston, Jamaica. The image captures a moment in history when the British Empire still held sway over the West Indies, and the Caribbean was a hub of industry and trade.
The scene is bustling with activity as workers labor over tobacco leaves, rolling them into cigars by hand. The air is thick with the sweet scent of tobacco and the sound of machinery fills the room. Lanterns hang from above, casting a warm glow over the workers as they toil away.
This snapshot offers a glimpse into a bygone era when plantations dotted the landscape and provided livelihoods for many Jamaicans. It speaks to an age of Victorian and Edwardian elegance, where craftsmanship was valued and attention to detail was paramount.
The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection has preserved this piece of history for us to appreciate today. It serves as a reminder of Jamaica's rich cultural heritage and its place within the larger tapestry of colonial history.
So take a moment to immerse yourself in this image, let your imagination wander back to a time when cigars were king and Kingston was at the heart of it all.
