EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Across Two Oceans" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Georgetown, Guyana in the late 19th century. Created by Melton Prior and published in The Illustrated London News on April 7,1888, this print offers a fascinating glimpse into daily life during that era. The scene depicted showcases a vibrant market filled with locals going about their business. From street vendors selling their wares to busy shoppers navigating through the crowd, every corner is alive with activity. The artist's attention to detail allows us to immerse ourselves in this South American setting. One particular highlight of the engraving is an ice stall situated amidst the colorful chaos. This unique addition provides a stark contrast against the warm tones of the market scene, capturing our curiosity and inviting further exploration. As we gaze upon this historical artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported across two oceans - both geographically and temporally. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend boundaries and connect us with different cultures and eras. This print not only captures an important moment in history but also celebrates the diversity and vibrancy found within Latin America's western hemisphere. It stands as a testament to Melton Prior's artistic skill and his ability to bring distant lands closer through his engravings.
