Native Women of Fort de France at Work

This is a splendid picture, showing how the native women are compelled to toil for a mere pittance. They carry the earth in boxes, and when each box is emptied they receive a rheek, which they present when their day’s work is finished, and revolve their pay, which amounts to from twenty to thirty cents a day in United States money. A very interesting and instructive picture.
