EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a scene from "The Adventures of Johnny Newcome" a renowned adventure written by John Mitford and published in 1812. The coloured etching, created by William Elmes, brings to life the thrilling narrative that unfolds within its pages. In this particular image, we witness a joyous celebration taking place in the West Indies. The atmosphere is filled with merrymaking as guests gather for a grand ball to welcome Johnny Newcome into their midst. As an unaccustomed newcomer to these exotic lands, Johnny finds himself immersed in a whirlwind of festivities. Amidst the vibrant crowd stands Johnny himself - a sailor newly arrived on these shores. His eyes meet those of his beautiful bride-to-be Rosa, who radiates happiness and anticipation. Their love story becomes intertwined with themes of colonization and exploration as they embark on this new chapter together.

It also hints at some revelers who may have indulged too much in their newfound freedom - perhaps due to partaking in some potent island spirits! This remarkable artwork not only showcases Elmes' artistic talent but also offers us a glimpse into history through its depiction of colonial life and cultural exchange during this era. It serves as an invitation for viewers to immerse themselves in this enchanting tale while appreciating the
