EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Creole of Martinique (black servant and a couple of whites)" takes us back to the 19th century in the enchanting Caribbean island of Martinique. The image, captured by an unknown artist, showcases a thought-provoking scene that reflects the complex dynamics of race and power during that time. In this picture, we see a black servant standing alongside a couple of white individuals. The contrast between their appearances is striking; it serves as a visual representation of the social hierarchy prevalent in French colonial society. The presence of the black servant highlights the history of enslavement and bondage experienced by many people from African descent on plantations across Martinique. The composition exudes both curiosity and tension as we wonder about the relationships between these individuals. What stories lie behind their expressions? How did they navigate through this era marked by racial divisions? Through this photograph, Leonard de Selva invites us to delve into history, shedding light on an important period in both French and Caribbean heritage. It reminds us not only to acknowledge our past but also to reflect upon how far we have come in terms of equality and inclusivity. As we gaze at this intriguing snapshot frozen in time, let us remember those who came before us – their struggles, triumphs, and contributions – shaping our present-day understanding of culture, identity, and human connection.
