Fruit sellers, market women and lightermen bring everyday Caribbean life into prints from The West Indies, painted by A. S. Forrest, described by John Henderson and published by Adam and Charles Black in London in 1905. Jamaica and Barbados form large groups, with milkmaids, streets, houses and coastal scenes, while other views reach Dominica, St Lucia, Trinidad, Guadeloupe and Martinique. Steamers, mail arrivals and unloading boats show the islands' links with the sea, rain, midday heat and evening light change the mood, and churches, courts and military figures show public life.
