EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor print from 1807 transports us back to the vibrant streets of Guadeloupe in the 19th century. The scene depicts a police officer on horseback accompanied by a national guard, both proudly donning their military uniforms. The artist's mastery of English watercolor techniques beautifully captures the essence of this historical moment. The police officer sits tall and confident atop his majestic steed, holding a gleaming sabre at his side. His uniform exudes authority and professionalism, complete with a distinctive hat that sets him apart from the crowd. The national guard stands beside him, equally resolute in his military attire. As we gaze upon this fine art painting, we are transported to an era where horseback riding was not only practical but also symbolic of power and control. The bustling street behind them hints at daily life in Guadeloupe during this time period. In this vertical composition, we see two men and one animal occupying the frame against a backdrop of historic significance. This snapshot into history reminds us of the role played by law enforcement in maintaining order within society. With its delicate brushstrokes and vivid colors, this watercolor painting offers us a glimpse into Guadeloupe's past while celebrating its rich cultural heritage. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable historical document that allows us to appreciate the evolution of policing throughout time.
