EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Dominican Republic in 1873, showcasing a Dominican school in Santo Domingo. The image, captured by an unknown creator and featured in Samuel Hazard's book "Santo Domingo: past and present, with a glance at Hayti" offers a glimpse into the educational landscape of that era. The photograph depicts a modest building surrounded by lush vegetation, giving it an idyllic Caribbean charm. A group of children can be seen standing outside the school, their youthful faces filled with anticipation for another day of learning. Inside the classroom, we witness diligent students engaged in their studies under the watchful eye of their teacher. Christianity plays a significant role in this educational institution as religious symbols adorn the walls. This highlights both the importance placed on faith-based education during that time and its influence on shaping young minds. As our eyes wander through this monochrome scene, we notice birds perched nearby—a subtle reminder of nature's presence amidst human endeavors. This engraving captures not only a specific moment but also reflects broader themes such as colonial architecture, West Indian culture, and historical perspectives on education. Preserved through time thanks to Samuel Hazard's dedication to documenting history visually, this print serves as a valuable artifact offering insight into life within Santo Domingo over 150 years ago.
