EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remarkable Jacob du Bray, a French Crimean veteran who recently celebrated his 103rd birthday at Dover. The image showcases an elderly man with a distinguished beard and mustache, exuding wisdom and resilience. In the background, chickens roam freely on his small holding, adding a touch of rustic charm to the scene. Du Bray attributes his impressive longevity to one simple secret: drinking lemon. This unconventional remedy has undoubtedly played a significant role in sustaining his health throughout the years. As he proudly holds up a lemon in this photograph, it symbolizes not only his personal belief but also serves as an emblem of hope for others seeking ways to enhance their own well-being. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and timelessness to this image from February 8th, 1923. It transports us back to an era where stories like Du Bray's were treasured for their rarity and inspiration. His experiences as a soldier during the Crimean War further contribute to our fascination with this extraordinary individual. Through Central News' lens, we catch a glimpse of history personified - an embodiment of strength and endurance that transcends generations. This print is more than just documentation; it encapsulates the spirit of resilience that resides within each one of us while reminding us that sometimes life's most profound secrets can be found in something as humble as a lemon.
