EDITORS COMMENTS
This delightful photograph captures the essence of West Indian life in the late 1960s, as depicted in the jolly-looking middle-aged couple at the bustling market on Tortola, the largest island in the British Virgin Islands. The couple, both of West Indian descent, are dressed in colorful attire, reflecting the vibrant cultural traditions of the region. The woman, with a warm smile and plentiful curves, holds a large basket on her head, skillfully balancing its weight. Her husband, with a hearty laugh and a generous belly, supports her with a steady hand. The market scene around them is a feast for the senses: the aroma of ripe fruits and spices wafts through the air, the sounds of lively chatter and bartering fill the atmosphere, and the colors of the various stalls and merchandise create a visual tapestry. The scene is a testament to the resilient and joyful spirit of the Virgin Islanders, who have long thrived in this idyllic Caribbean paradise. Despite the passage of time, this photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the West Indies, and the enduring strength and happiness of its people. The couple's jovial demeanor and the lively market scene offer a glimpse into a bygone era, inviting us to appreciate the beauty and diversity of the world around us.
