EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and lively print captures the essence of Carnival in Port of Spain, Trinidad. The coloured engraving by William Heysham Overend beautifully depicts the exuberant atmosphere that fills the streets during this annual celebration. In the foreground, a group of people dressed in elaborate costumes can be seen dancing to the infectious rhythm of Caribbean music. Their colorful attire reflects the rich cultural heritage of Trinidad, with each costume telling its own unique story. Amongst them is a mischievous-looking devil figure, adding an element of intrigue and excitement to the scene. The bustling port serves as a backdrop for this carnival extravaganza, with ships docked and ready to witness the mayhem unfold. The participants are not just mere spectators; they fully immerse themselves in this festive occasion by wearing masks and carrying walking sticks or canes as part of their fancy dress. The finely detailed engraving showcases every intricate detail, from the expressions on people's faces to their energetic dance moves. It is evident that this artwork was hand-coloured in true Victorian style, enhancing its charm and authenticity. This image transports us back to 1888 when Melton Prior sketched this scene for Illustrated London News. It encapsulates both tradition and revelry while celebrating Trinidad's vibrant Carnival culture through artistry and imagination.
