EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1888 showcases an ice stall in the bustling market of Georgetown, Demerara, Guyana (British Guyana). The intricately detailed print captures a moment frozen in time, where locals would gather to purchase blocks of ice to keep their goods cool in the sweltering heat.
The image transports us back to a bygone era when refrigeration was a luxury and ice was a precious commodity. The market stall stands out against the backdrop of the vibrant marketplace, offering respite from the tropical climate with its chilled wares.
The artist has skillfully depicted the hustle and bustle of daily life in this colonial British territory, showcasing the fusion of cultures and traditions that defined Georgetown at the time. From vendors hawking their goods to customers bargaining for the best price, every detail is brought to life through intricate wood engraving techniques.
As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are reminded of a simpler time when technology had yet to revolutionize our world. This print serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of food preservation and refrigeration methods, while also celebrating the timeless charm of traditional markets like those found in Georgetown.
