EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures the essence of Basse-Terre, the official capital of Guadeloupe. The print, created by American School in the 20th century, showcases the beauty and charm of this Caribbean gem. Basse-Terre is depicted as a vibrant city nestled amidst lush greenery and rolling hills. The lithograph offers a glimpse into its rich history and cultural heritage. It was originally featured in "The World and its People" an extensive tour of all lands written by Charles F Horne in 1924. The image transports us to a time when Basse-Terre was still under French rule, as it is one of France's overseas departments and territories. This connection with Europe is evident through the presence of European Union flags on display. Intriguingly, there are also people portrayed within the illustration, adding life to this snapshot from early twentieth-century Guadeloupe. Their presence suggests that Basse-Terre was not just a picturesque landscape but also a bustling hub filled with diverse individuals who contributed to its vibrant atmosphere. Overall, this lithograph provides us with a unique perspective on Basse-Terre's geography, architecture, and people during an era long gone by. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation that allows viewers to appreciate the beauty of this Caribbean capital while reflecting on its past significance within France's colonial empire.
