EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Colonial and Indian Exhibition, British Guiana, West Indies, and British Honduras" takes us back to the vibrant atmosphere of a significant event in history. Created by Frank Watkins in 1886 for The Illustrated London News, this print offers a glimpse into the diverse cultures and colonial influences present during that time. The image showcases various sections of the exhibition held in London. From the Jamaican section to St. Vincent's ethnological stand, each area represents a unique aspect of life in the West Indies. The presence of sugar canes highlights the importance of this crop within these colonies' economies. As we explore further, we are transported to British Honduras and Barbados sections where their distinct cultural heritage is showcased with pride. This engraving serves as a reminder of Britain's colonial past and its influence on these regions. The Colonial and Indian Exhibition was an opportunity for visitors to learn about different cultures while celebrating imperial achievements. It provided a platform for showcasing products from across the empire while promoting trade relations between nations. Through this print, Bridgeman Images allows us to delve into history by capturing moments that shaped our world today. As we admire this artwork, let us reflect upon both the positive aspects of cultural exchange during colonial times and also acknowledge its complex legacy that continues to impact societies around the globe.
