This photograph, titled "Native labourers Preparing Rice in Jamaica, c1890" offers a glimpse into the daily lives of Jamaican workers in the late 19th century. The image showcases a group of hardworking men and women diligently engaged in their occupation amidst an outdoor setting. The scene unfolds outside a traditional thatched cottage, highlighting the rustic charm of rural Jamaica during this era. With focused expressions on their faces, these native labourers are seen meticulously preparing rice for consumption. Their hands move swiftly as they sort through grains with utmost precision, showcasing their expertise in this essential task. Both men and women are equally represented in this portrait, emphasizing gender equality within the workforce at that time. This powerful visual testament challenges conventional notions about labor division based on gender roles prevalent during the 19th century. As we observe this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that these individuals take immense pride in their profession despite working under challenging conditions. Their dedication to providing sustenance for themselves and others is palpable through every grain they handle. Through this monochrome print captured by The Werner Company from London's Colonial Portfolio collection, we gain insight into the resilience and resourcefulness of Jamaican locals during colonial times. It serves as a reminder of their invaluable contributions to shaping Jamaica's cultural heritage while shedding light on an often overlooked aspect of its history - the vital role played by native labourers like those depicted here.
