Color lithograph view titled "Going to Market, Jamaica," showing several people wading a shallow river, most of them women carrying large baskets or bundles balanced on their heads, with dense tropical vegetation and a range of blue-purple mountains behind. The scene depicts the everyday practice of carrying produce on foot to local markets in rural Jamaica. Similar views were popular in early twentieth-century souvenir cards of the island, often printed in Germany for the tourist trade.
