Johnny New-come in the Island of Jamaica, 1800 - A Glimpse into an Ill-Fated Adventure
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This hand-coloured engraving by James Sayers takes us back to the year 1800 and immerses us in a scene that reveals the harsh realities faced by newcomers in the Caribbean. The print portrays Johnny New-come, a fresh arrival to the exotic island of Jamaica, who finds himself gravely ill and struggling to adapt. The image captures a moment of culture shock as Johnny lies delirious on his sickbed, surrounded by unaccustomed scenes. His face reflects both fear and confusion as he witnesses unfamiliar customs and encounters death up close. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, from the colonial architecture in the background to the mournful faces of those attending him. Through this illustration, we witness not only Johnny's physical illness but also his emotional turmoil. As a newcomer thrust into an unknown world far from home, he grapples with feelings of isolation and vulnerability. The presence of alcohol suggests that perhaps he sought solace or escape through self-medication. Sayers' masterful depiction invites contemplation on themes such as colonialism, mortality, and human resilience. It serves as a poignant reminder that venturing into new territories can be fraught with challenges for even the most intrepid explorers. This thought-provoking print offers us a glimpse into history while reminding us of our shared humanity across time and cultures.
