This print titled "Cotton, 1. - Picking Seed Cotton, W. Indies, 1928" takes us back to the vibrant world of West Indies in the early twentieth century. The image showcases a group of hardworking women engaged in the laborious task of picking seed cotton on a picturesque cotton plantation. The scene is filled with an air of determination and resilience as these female farm workers meticulously gather the valuable crop that would later become a cash crop for the region.
