EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Santo Domingo, c. 1899" takes us back in time to the vibrant streets of the Dominican Republic's capital city. Captured by an American photographer from the 19th century, this image is part of the esteemed New York Public Library collection. The focal point of this photograph is a magnificent sculpture dedicated to Christopher Columbus. Standing tall on its pedestal, adorned with inscriptions praising the great explorer, it also features a remarkable figure representing a Carib queen. This juxtaposition symbolizes both conquest and indigenous heritage. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to bustling city streets filled with pedestrians strolling leisurely along their way. The lampposts lining the road provide illumination as day turns into night while casting intriguing shadows that add depth and mystery to the scene. The composition captures not only architectural elements but also human gestures and interactions. A male figure can be seen pointing or gesturing towards something beyond our view, perhaps engaging in conversation or simply admiring his surroundings. Through this photograph's lens, we witness history unfolding before our eyes – an exploration of culture and identity intertwined with colonial legacies. It serves as a poignant reminder of Santo Domingo's rich past while inviting us to reflect upon its significance in shaping our present-day understanding of Caribbean history and heritage.
