EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the early 1900s in Manchester, Jamaica, where ginger is being dried on a plantation. The image exudes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era of British colonial rule in the Caribbean. The vintage lantern slide showcases the meticulous process of drying ginger, an essential crop that was cultivated and exported during this time.
The Victorian and Edwardian influences are evident in the attire worn by the workers as they carefully tend to the ginger spread out on large trays. The old Jamaican landscape provides a picturesque backdrop for this snapshot of history, offering a glimpse into daily life on a Jamaican plantation under British imperial rule.
The West Indies' rich cultural heritage is palpable in this image, with hints of Caribbean influence intertwined with British traditions. The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection has preserved this moment in time, allowing us to reflect on the complexities and nuances of Jamaica's past.
As we admire this piece of history captured through photography, we are reminded of the interconnectedness between nations and cultures during the early 1900s. This print serves as both a visual record and a testament to the enduring legacy of Jamaica's agricultural practices within the broader context of the British Empire's presence in the Caribbean.
