EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving, titled "SANTO DOMINGO: STEED, 1871. The Dominican and His Steed" takes us back to the vibrant streets of Santo Domingo in 1871. The image showcases a late afternoon scene where a distinguished rider on horseback gracefully navigates through the bustling city. The Dominican man exudes confidence as he sits atop his majestic steed, their bond evident in their synchronized movements. Both man and beast are adorned with traditional attire that reflects the rich cultural heritage of the West Indian nation. In the background, towering palm trees sway gently in the warm Caribbean breeze, adding an exotic touch to this Latin American tableau. A group of men can be seen nearby, engaged in animated conversation while observing this impressive sight. The wood engraving captures not only a moment frozen in time but also conveys a sense of respect for both man and animal. It is evident that the artist sought to depict these individuals without any condescending stereotypes often associated with representations from that era. This print from Granger Art on Demand is a testament to Latin America's diverse history and serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness across cultures and continents.
