This print titled "Native family to please the Duke and Duchess" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Taken in Jamaica on 25th January 1927, it captures three native girls in the enchanting Castleton Gardens. These young girls are seen selling bead necklaces, which had gained immense popularity among the local women. The image exudes an air of cultural exchange and curiosity as these Jamaican natives aim to please visiting royalty, the Duke and Duchess. The vibrant bead necklets they offer symbolize their desire to showcase their heritage while catering to the tastes of distinguished guests. In this monochrome snapshot from between the wars, we witness a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity. The photograph encapsulates both the allure of early twentieth-century fashion trends and the timeless beauty of indigenous culture. Preserved by Central News, this piece is part of Europeana Photography's collection that commemorates historical moments from diverse corners of our world. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded not only of its aesthetic appeal but also its historical significance—a testament to human connection transcending borders and time itself
