Ruins of an old sugar mill and plantation house, vicinity of Christiansted, Saint Croix, Virgin Islands (LOC)

    This looks like Estate Little Princess, currently owned by the Nature Conservancy. They've done some work, but it's still mostly just a nature preserve. Both buildings now house offices and interns, and use solar electricity and solar heated water. There's also a reforestation project and natural wastewater treatment.

Man in a sugar-cane field during harvest, vicinity of Rio Piedras? Puerto Rico (LOC)

  • Ricky Flores said:
    Rio Piedras is a town in Puerto Rico. Again not sure why the question mark after the town. Could it be that LOC is not sure it was taken there?
  • The Library of Congress said:
    rigglord, Glad you're enjoying the photos! Because the title does not appear in brackets, it is transcribed from an original source. Generally, a title is transcribed from the original picture, or from a photographer's logbook or negative jacket. If the picture carries no caption a title is devised from another source and displayed in brackets. Devised titles are written by Library staff, or they might come from a published book illustration or a former owner.

    And this one was used for the cover of "Tortilla Flat" by John Steinbeck, Penguin Modern Classics edition.

Rice in a lunch of a sugar worker on a plantation, vicinity of Guanica, Puerto Rico? (LOC)

  • Ricky Flores said:
    Jack Delano did work for the FSA and finally settle down in Puerto Rico. I remember hearing stories about him traveling throughout the Caribbean documenting workers for the FSA. His son continued in his footsteps and has a major exhibition on Ellis Island. Guanica is a town in Puerto Rico. Not sure why the title has a question mark at the end.
