The image showcases a woman diligently embroidering a handbag at a handicrafts cooperative in Charlotte Amalie on St. Thomas Island. Her skilled hands delicately weave vibrant threads into intricate patterns, creating a masterpiece that reflects the rich cultural heritage of the Virgin Islanders. The midday sun casts soft shadows on her face as she sits outside, surrounded by lush greenery and tropical blooms. A stylish hat adorns her head, protecting her from the warm Caribbean breeze while adding an elegant touch to her attire. Photographed by Jack Delano, this snapshot captures not only the artistry of craft-making but also offers us a glimpse into daily life during that era. It serves as a testament to the resilience and creativity of these West Indian women who dedicated themselves to preserving their traditions through their craftsmanship.
