<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 27628, member: 44&quot;]Jamaicans, Haitians, and other Caribbean women worn hats like these. Those hats and long dresses were seen in many Caribbean areas back when. No doubt they may have worn them here in the states, but bananas in any large supply, I doubt would have been found on the streets of New Orleans. Possibly banana venders one time on the streets of Tampa, but the buildings and colors say Caribbean to me. Those headscarves were also worn and are still worn all over the Caribbean. Following are a few examples of the hats in Jamaica back in the early 1900s with long dresses:</p><p><br /></p><p>Jamaican Emancipation Day:</p><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/31966523@N02/4820734079" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/31966523@N02/4820734079" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/31966523@N02/4820734079</a></p><p><br /></p><p>1921 Jamaican Market Day:</p><p><a href="http://hexell.users.photofile.ru/photo/hexell/95308981/105762768.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://hexell.users.photofile.ru/photo/hexell/95308981/105762768.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://hexell.users.photofile.ru/photo/hexell/95308981/105762768.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Country Market Jamaica</p><p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/caribbeanphotoarchive/3008876340/in/set-72157608798186282" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/caribbeanphotoarchive/3008876340/in/set-72157608798186282" rel="nofollow">https://www.flickr.com/photos/caribbeanphotoarchive/3008876340/in/set-72157608798186282</a></p><p><br /></p><p>1907 Jamaican Vegetable Market:</p><p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/caribbeanphotoarchive/3025295342/in/set-72157608798186282" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/caribbeanphotoarchive/3025295342/in/set-72157608798186282" rel="nofollow">https://www.flickr.com/photos/caribbeanphotoarchive/3025295342/in/set-72157608798186282</a></p><p><br /></p><p>1905 Jamaican Street Venders:</p><p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/caribbeanphotoarchive/6820838882/in/set-72157608798186282" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/caribbeanphotoarchive/6820838882/in/set-72157608798186282" rel="nofollow">https://www.flickr.com/photos/caribbeanphotoarchive/6820838882/in/set-72157608798186282</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
