EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scenic beauty and rich history of Roseau, the capital city of the Commonwealth of Dominica in the Lesser Antilles region of the Caribbean. The image, taken circa 1910s, offers a glimpse into the past with its depiction of the city's quaint rooftops, as seen from the vantage point of the historic Catholic Cathedral. The red-tiled roofs, dotted with chimneys and antennas, are a characteristic feature of Dominican architecture, reflecting the island's unique cultural heritage. Dominica, known as the "Nature Island," is renowned for its lush greenery, volcanic landscapes, and diverse wildlife. As a Dominican, one takes pride in the island's natural beauty and its strong sense of community. The city of Roseau, nestled along the western coast, serves as the economic, political, and cultural hub of Dominica. The photograph also highlights the city's colonial past, as the Cathedral, a symbol of the island's religious heritage, stands proudly in the background. The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, built in the late 19th century, is a testament to the island's rich history and its connections to Europe. As a Dominican, one can appreciate the charm and allure of this photograph, which showcases the unique character and history of Roseau and Dominica as a whole. This image serves as a reminder of the island's past and its enduring spirit, which continues to thrive in the present day.
