Native Women Washing Clothes at Fort de France

A fine subject, showing how the washerwomen of Martinique do their washing, the way they stand in the stream and rub their clothes on a place of coral stone, which they use for washboards. They then slap the clothes against the stones and lay them out to dry on the grass. This is, an instructive picture as well as a fine photograph.
