EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Snake Catcher and Charcoal Girl, Martinique, c1890" offers a glimpse into the lives of two individuals in 19th century Martinique. The image portrays a young female snake catcher alongside a charcoal girl, both dressed in traditional clothing that reflects their occupation. The snake catcher stands confidently with her hat on her head and bare feet firmly planted on the ground. Her expertise in handling reptiles is evident as she holds a snake with ease, showcasing her fearlessness and skill. In contrast, the charcoal girl poses gracefully beside her stack of fuel - charcoal - which she has meticulously arranged for sale. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of timelessness to this portrait engraving. It allows us to focus on the expressions etched onto their faces; determination shines through the eyes of these hardworking individuals who make their living through unconventional means. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also provides valuable insight into the diverse professions held by women during this era. It serves as a reminder that gender roles were not limited to societal norms but rather shaped by individual talents and circumstances. As we admire this historical artifact from Universal Geography's collection, let us appreciate the resilience and resourcefulness exhibited by these remarkable figures from Martinique's past.
