Text description beneath the picture (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used) MENDING OUR WAYS: A SCENE IN JAMAICA. Probably the last idea which has entered the heads of the party of negroes and negresses here represented is that they form an exceedingly picturesque and interesting group. Yet such is undoubtedly the case; and could we add the magic colour to the view, the effect would be far more striking. We should then get the full value of the magnificent background of tropical foliage, animated by the bright colours which the negro loves, the whole glorified by the clear, brilliant sun of Jamaica. The Jamaica roads are famous for their excellence, and they form a welcome and easy communication between the scorching streets of Kingstown and the splendid uplands of the Blue Mountains. The men and women whom we see are all the descendants of slaves, but are now free wage-earners under full protection of British law.
