EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1888 takes us back in time to a bustling market in Georgetown, Demerara (later British Guyana, present day Guyana). The wood engraving, created by an English artist, beautifully captures the essence of life in this vibrant colonial town. In the foreground of the image stands an ice stand, a rare commodity during that era. The vendor behind the stall is surrounded by a diverse crowd of people from different walks of life. Caucasian and African American men can be seen engaging in conversation while women clad in traditional attire browse through various stalls nearby. The market place itself is teeming with activity as vendors showcase their wares and shoppers haggle for the best deals. This snapshot provides a glimpse into daily life at that time - a melting pot where cultures intersected and commerce thrived. Georgetown's rich history as a trading hub comes alive through this image. It serves as a reminder of how markets have always been central to communities around the world, connecting individuals from all backgrounds and fostering economic growth. As we admire this remarkable piece from The Granger Collection, let us appreciate its ability to transport us back over 130 years ago when ice was considered precious and markets were vibrant hubs of social interaction.
