EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolour print, titled "Mesteese and mulatto girls of Dominica" offers a glimpse into the lives of two women in the West Indies during the mid-19th century. The unknown artist beautifully captures their presence by depicting them at a creek, engaged in daily activities. The scene portrays one woman holding a wooden paddle while the other carries a large wooden board. A bundle of cloth rests on a rock in the creek, suggesting that these women are involved in domestic chores or perhaps washing clothes. Both women have their hair wrapped in fabric, showcasing their traditional costume and cultural practices. The artwork provides valuable insight into the indigenous population of Dominica during this period. It highlights the importance of rivers to their way of life and emphasizes how they utilized natural resources for everyday tasks. Through delicate brushstrokes and vibrant watercolours, this piece transports us back to an era when island life was intricately connected with nature. It invites contemplation about the rich history and diverse cultures that shaped Caribbean societies. As we admire this remarkable work from Newberry Library's collection, we are reminded of the resilience and strength exhibited by these Indian women who played an integral role within their community. Their presence is immortalized through art, allowing us to appreciate their contributions even centuries later.
