EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a scene from early 1900s Jamaica, showcasing the traditional method of drying sisal. The image transports us back in time to a bygone era, where workers are seen carefully tending to the sisal plants on a plantation. The Victorian and Edwardian influences are evident in the attire of the workers and the overall setting of the photograph. A sense of nostalgia is evoked as we witness this age-old practice being carried out with precision and care. The use of lantern light adds an atmospheric touch to the image, illuminating the scene and highlighting the intricate details of the process. It's almost as if we can hear the sounds of nature surrounding them - birds chirping, leaves rustling in the wind. As we gaze at this historical snapshot, we are reminded of a simpler time when manual labor was essential for everyday tasks like drying sisal. The dedication and hard work depicted in this photograph serve as a testament to human resilience and ingenuity. Overall, this print from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection offers us a glimpse into Jamaica's past, allowing us to appreciate its rich cultural heritage and agricultural traditions.
