EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling High Street in Bridgetown, Barbados, in the year 1895. Captured by York & Son, a renowned photography company of that era, this image showcases horse-drawn carts near the statue of Lord Nelson, an iconic landmark in the capital city. The statue of Lord Nelson was erected way back in 1813, predating London's famous Nelson's Column by three decades. It stands as a testament to Barbados' rich history and its ties to British colonialism. The architectural beauty of the surrounding buildings adds charm to this snapshot from another time. As we observe this scene frozen in time, it is evident that High Street was a vibrant hub with people going about their daily lives. The street is lined with quaint shops and establishments that were integral to the community at that time. Transportation played a significant role during this period, as evidenced by the presence of horse-drawn vehicles traversing along the road. This mode of transport was essential for both commerce and personal travel. This remarkable photograph not only captures an exquisite moment but also serves as a historical artifact showcasing life in Bridgetown during the late 19th century. Through its monochrome lens, we are transported into an era where tradition meets progress amidst picturesque architecture and lively streetscapes.
