EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Exterior of the Boiling House, from Ten Views in the Island of Antigua" takes us back to 1823, offering a glimpse into the vibrant world of colonial-era Antigua. The image showcases an imposing factory building surrounded by lush cotton plants and a bustling workforce. The scene is illuminated by the soft glow of moonlight, creating a mesmerizing nocturnal atmosphere. A windmill stands tall in the distance, its sails gently turning with the breeze. In front of the factory, an ox-drawn cart laden with goods waits patiently as workers scurry about their tasks. The print captures not only the physical aspects of this plantation but also hints at its complex social dynamics. An overseer can be seen observing his laborers diligently working under his watchful eye. This depiction serves as a reminder of the manual labor and agricultural practices that were integral to producing commodities during this time period. With its rich details and historical significance, this print offers viewers a window into both past industry and grand tours taken by British travelers seeking cultural enrichment. Preserved within Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection, it continues to inspire curiosity and appreciation for our shared history.
