EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "City of Kingston from the Commercial Rooms, Looking Towards the South" takes us back in time to 19th-century Jamaica. The artist, Joseph Bartholomew Kidd, skillfully captures a panoramic view of this bustling Caribbean town. From the vantage point of the Commercial Rooms, we are treated to a stunning vista that stretches before our eyes. The rooftops of Kingston's vibrant buildings create an intricate tapestry against the backdrop of clear blue skies. Ships dotting the harbor add a touch of maritime charm to this tropical scene. Intriguingly, one cannot miss the presence of British influence in this colonial setting. A proud Union Jack flutters proudly atop one building, reminding us of Jamaica's historical ties with Britain during this period. Kidd's use of color lithography brings life and vibrancy to every detail within this artwork. It is as if we can almost feel the warmth and energy emanating from these streets filled with activity and commerce. As we gaze upon this print, it transports us back in time - allowing us to imagine what life was like for those who called Kingston home centuries ago. It serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and a window into history itself. This remarkable piece now resides in a private collection but continues to captivate viewers with its depiction of an enchanting era gone by.
