Gypsies on the occasion of the yearly pilgrimage and festival of the Gypsies in honor of Saint Sara, Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer in 1953.

A caravan of Roma people traverses a field of tall grass with horse-drawn wagons during the annual pilgrimage honoring Saint Sara in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer, 1953. Captured from a low angle, the scene includes a woman guiding an open cart and, dominating the right of the frame, a large wooden vardo. Its prominent spoked wheel, open shutters, and small chimney detail a life in transit.
