    I love the activity captured here. This is fantastic.
  • velokitty said:
    This is great... I love the other photos of women workers, but this feels so much more truthful
  • roderickbodine said:
    I agree. No lipstick, fancy hairstyles or nice clothes. This photo doesn't have the "staged" feel like most of the other working women photos in this set.
  • Dan Perry said:
    Wow, this one is really something. Easily a favorite.

    When I saw your pictures (this one plus the others), it brought tears to my eyes. My grandfather pass away 25 years ago, and he was a cane sugar worker in Las Piedras area. I never got to see pictures of him at work, and if it was not for you I would probably never knew. Thanks soooo much for posting this pictures it meant a lot to me !!!

    Esta es la famosa "fiambrera", donde cada trabajador llevaba su comida.

    Don O'Neill- Great!!! My father would travel for miles to deliver his fathers lunch to him in exactly the same way using these containers. It was in the 1930's as well. A quite man who spoke very little so my grandmother developed a routine to figure out where he was working each day before sending my father on this errand by checking the shed to see which tools he had taken with him that day. My grandfather was a laborer or "Journalero" in the fincas de tobacco y fruta etc. He worked and lived in the Rio Piedras area and lived in the Guaynabo Barrios of Rio, Hato Nuevo, and Capetillio over the years.

    I realize that these photos were taken pre-OSHA, but shouldn't these women be wearing boots in this industrial setting?
  • bf53490 said:
    It looks like this lady was more into fashion than actually worried about safety or dropping some heavy piece of metal on her feet. She is seen earlier in a closeup as well. Makes me wonder if she was an aspiring model or an actual model?

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Sitting portraits, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
  • Le yeux sans visage said:
    She's gotta be a model - no one working long hours can look like this!

    Women took better care of themselves back then than they do today.
