EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Across Two Oceans, Carnival in Port of Spain, Trinidad" takes us back to the vibrant festivities of a bygone era. Created by William Heysham Overend in 1888 for The Illustrated London News, this print captures the essence of the famous carnival held in Port of Spain. The scene depicted is a riotous explosion of color and energy. Elaborately dressed revelers fill the streets, their costumes exuding an air of extravagance and creativity. From feathered headdresses to sequined gowns, every detail showcases the dedication and artistry that goes into these elaborate ensembles. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported across two oceans to witness firsthand the joyous celebration taking place on the island of Trinidad. The warm Caribbean breeze seems to carry with it echoes of laughter and music as steel drums reverberate through the air. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this engraving serves as a historical record—a testament to the cultural significance and enduring legacy of carnivals in Trinidad. It reminds us that traditions have deep roots that connect generations across time and space. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can now appreciate this piece from their private collection. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us be reminded not only of its artistic beauty but also its ability to transport us across oceans and immerse ourselves in a world filled with festivity and merriment.
