EDITORS COMMENTS
A tranquil scene from the Caribbean island of Dominica in the early 1900s, as captured in this beautiful vintage postcard. The image shows a group of women and girls gathered at the edge of a crystal-clear river, washing clothes on the smooth, flat stones. The women are dressed in colorful, flowing skirts and blouses, their hair pulled back in neat braids or wrapped in bright headscarves. Some are deep in concentration as they scrub their clothes against the rocks, while others chat and laugh with one another. In the background, lush green foliage and the rolling hills of the island are visible, adding to the idyllic setting. The gentle flow of the river provides the perfect natural washing machine, allowing the women to complete their daily chores while enjoying the beauty of their surroundings. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life of the people of Dominica during this era.
