EDITORS COMMENTS
Newcastle Cemetery, Jamaica - A Peaceful Resting Place Amidst the Beautiful Blue Mountains Newcastle, a historic settlement nestled at the foot of the Blue Mountains in Jamaica, offers a tranquil and picturesque scene in this early 20th-century photograph. The image, part of the Boswell Collection, depicts the local cemetery, which lies at the base of a hill. The settlement of Newcastle, with its quaint houses and buildings, can be seen in the background, perched on the hillside. Newcastle gained significance in the 1840s when it became a military center in Jamaica. The area's strategic location in the Blue Mountains made it an ideal place for fortifications, and the British military established several installations there to protect the island from external threats. The photograph, estimated to have been taken around 1918, captures the serene beauty of the cemetery, which stands as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Jamaica. The lush greenery and peaceful atmosphere of the cemetery contrast sharply with the bustling settlement in the background, creating a striking visual juxtaposition. Jamaica, an island nation in the Caribbean Sea, is officially known as the Commonwealth of Jamaica. It is located south of Cuba and west of Hispaniola, the island containing the nation-states of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. The island's diverse landscape, from its beautiful beaches to its towering mountains, has made it a popular tourist destination and a source of inspiration for artists, writers, and photographers alike.
