EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this late 19th century photograph of the breathtaking view from Blackbeard's Castle in Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas, now a part of the US Virgin Islands. This historic landmark, named after the notorious pirate Blackbeard, has been a popular tourist attraction since the early days of travel and tourism. The image showcases the urban landscape of Charlotte Amalie, the quaint harbor town nestled on the shores of St. Thomas. The architectural diversity of the buildings is evident, with traditional Danish and Caribbean influences blending harmoniously. The structures, adorned with vibrant colors and intricate details, stand proudly against the backdrop of the azure waters and lush greenery. The bustling streets of the town can be seen winding their way up the hills, leading to the castle perched atop a hill overlooking the harbor. Blackbeard's Castle, a historic site and cultural landmark, adds an air of mystery and intrigue to the scene. Its imposing presence, with its cannons and fortifications, serves as a reminder of the island's rich history and the era of piracy that once thrived here. This photograph, an exquisite example of albumen printing, transports us back to a time when travel was an adventure and the world was filled with new discoveries. It invites us to explore the history, culture, and beauty of Charlotte Amalie and St. Thomas, and to appreciate the enduring allure of this Caribbean gem.
