Balancing straw-wrapped fish atop his head, this young man is seemingly unaware of Webb’s camera as he walks along the “magnificent sand beach,” as Webb described it in his journal. He is most likely transporting the fish from nearby boats to the market to be sold as part of a thriving local economy.
