EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of The West Indies Hotel in Barbados, circa 1908. The idyllic Caribbean island, known for its crystal-clear waters and lush greenery, is showcased in all its glory in this vintage postcard. In the foreground, a group of tourists, dressed in their finest attire, eagerly await their turn to embark on a tour of this tropical paradise. They will be transported through the scenic landscapes of Barbados in style, aboard a traditional horse-drawn carriage. The powerful and majestic horses, harnessed and ready to trot, stand proudly next to the carriage, their coats glistening in the sun. The West Indies Hotel, a symbol of luxury and sophistication, can be seen in the background. With its grand architecture and lush gardens, it offers a glimpse into the opulence of early 20th-century Caribbean tourism. The palm trees lining the beach and the turquoise waters of the sea create a picturesque backdrop, inviting visitors to imagine the adventure that awaits them. This postcard, part of the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Collection, is a testament to the allure of Barbados and the enduring appeal of horse-drawn carriage tours. It offers a window into the past, allowing us to relive the experiences of travelers from a bygone era and appreciate the timeless beauty of this enchanting island.
