Pearls 1. Native Diver at Work, Ceylon, 1928 captures the essence of a bygone era when pearl diving was a thriving industry in Sri Lanka. This photo print, part of the iconic 'Products of the World' series by John Player & Sons, London, takes us back to the vibrant twenties. Immersed in an underwater world teeming with life and color, we witness a lone male figure gracefully navigating the sea bed. With his weathered face and determined gaze, this skilled pearl diver epitomizes resilience and dedication to his craft. The image beautifully showcases Ceylon's geographical features as well as its rich fishing industry.
