EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic view of Roseau in the Island of Dominique, showcasing the remnants of an attack that took place in 1760. Lord Rollo and Sir James Douglas, two prominent figures from that era, led this assault on behalf of their respective forces. Engraved by Benazech and published in 1761, this artwork provides a glimpse into the tumultuous past of Dominica. The image depicts warships stationed off the Dominican coast, with their flags proudly waving amidst a picturesque landscape. The towering mountains serve as a dramatic backdrop to this scene, emphasizing both the natural beauty and vulnerability of this Caribbean island. Through this print, one can almost feel the intensity and chaos that must have unfolded during Lord Rollo's attack. It serves as a reminder of the naval power exerted during those times and highlights how conflicts shaped not only individual islands but also entire regions. Preserved at London's National Army Museum, this historical artifact offers us insight into an important chapter in Dominica's history. As we observe it today, we are reminded to appreciate both its artistic value and its significance as a testament to human resilience throughout time.
