EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the lively atmosphere of The Circus, a public square in Basseterre, the capital city of the tropical paradise of St. Kitts in the West Indies. Circa 1905, the scene is filled with the vibrant energy of the local community, as people gather around the shady palm trees, enjoying a leisurely afternoon. The Circus, which was originally the site of the French military parade ground, has long been a hub of social activity for the residents of St. Kitts and Nevis. The rich history of this beautiful island federation is reflected in the diverse crowd, with people of African, European, and East Indian descent mingling together, showcasing the unique cultural melting pot that makes St. Kitts and Nevis so special. The Circus was also the location for various public events, including markets, festivals, and political rallies, making it an integral part of the daily life of the community. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a simpler era, where life moved at a slower pace, and the simple pleasures of community and nature were cherished. The palm trees, which are synonymous with the Caribbean, provide a beautiful backdrop to the scene, adding to the tropical allure of this enchanting destination. Today, The Circus remains an important part of Basseterre's heritage, serving as a reminder of the island's rich history and the enduring spirit of its people.
