EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lantern slide captures a glimpse of sisal production in Jamaica during the early 1900s. The image transports us back to a time when plantations were bustling with activity, as workers harvested and processed this versatile fiber. The scene is filled with laborers engaged in various stages of production, from cutting the spiky leaves of the agave plant to extracting and drying the fibers for further processing. The sheer scale of the operation is evident in the vast fields stretching out into the distance, underlining the importance of sisal as a key industry in Jamaica at that time. The Victorian and Edwardian era architecture seen in the background adds a touch of historical charm to this snapshot from days gone by. It serves as a reminder of an era when agriculture played a central role in shaping economies and societies around the world. As we gaze upon this print from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, we are reminded of the rich history and heritage associated with sisal production in Jamaica. It is a testament to human ingenuity and hard work, capturing a moment frozen in time that continues to resonate with us today.
