EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the bustling waterfront scene on the pier of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, during the early 20th century. Taken between 1909 and 1920, this image offers a glimpse into the vibrant maritime commerce that defined this Latin American harbor city at the turn of the century. Intriguingly framed by a sailboat in the foreground and railroad tracks in the background, this snapshot showcases both traditional and modern modes of transportation coexisting harmoniously. The dock workers, predominantly men but also women, can be seen engaged in various activities such as pottery making or selling their wares to passersby. Their hard work is evident as they navigate through poverty-stricken conditions yet display resilience and determination. The seashore atmosphere exudes energy with people going about their daily routines amidst a backdrop of sailboats dotting the horizon. This photograph serves as an important historical document capturing a moment frozen in time - one that encapsulates not only Haiti's economic activity but also its cultural diversity. Preserved by The Granger Collection, this print allows us to reflect upon Haiti's rich past while acknowledging its present challenges. It reminds us of how far we have come since then while inspiring us to continue working towards creating a brighter future for all Haitians.
