Photograph of two Barbadian street traders

A black and white portrait photograph of two black women carrying produce on their heads. One carries fruit on a flat board and is drinking from a glass or cup; the other carries a stack of metal and wooden containers. Both are wearing dresses. Other pedestrians are visible on the same street, including a man in a white tunic and helmet (probably a member of the Barbados Police Force). Part of shop sign can be seen to the left of the image (possibly ‘[T]AYLOR’).
