EDITORS COMMENTS
King's Square, 1825 (engraving) captures the essence of colonial Jamaica in the early 19th century. The print, created by James Hakewill, showcases a picturesque view of King's Square in all its architectural glory. The white-colored buildings stand tall and proud against the backdrop of a vibrant blue sky. This engraving is part of Hakewill's collection titled "A picturesque tour of the island of Jamaica" which he created during his visit to the island between 1820 and 1821. Plate No. 1 sets the tone for an exploration into Jamaica's rich history and cultural heritage. The image evokes a sense of awe as one imagines strolling through this bustling square during that era. Men can be seen going about their daily activities, adding life and movement to the scene. Their presence reminds us that behind these grand structures are people who shaped this colonial landscape. As we admire this artwork, it is impossible not to reflect on the impact of British colonialism on Jamaica and its people. This engraving serves as a visual testament to both Britain's influence over its colonies and the resilience and strength displayed by Jamaicans throughout history. With every stroke of Hakewill's engraver tool, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever in this piece from Fine Art Finder.
