EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the town of Basse-Terre in Guadaloupe, Lesser Antilles. Published in The Illustrated London News in 1865, this historical illustration provides a fascinating window into the past. The image showcases the charming streets and buildings of Basse-Terre, which was then part of the Guadaloupe department of France. With its colonial architecture and lush surroundings, it is evident why this picturesque town has captivated visitors throughout history. As we delve into this archival gem, we are transported to an era when horse-drawn carriages traversed these cobblestone streets and locals went about their daily lives. The old-world charm emanating from every corner invites us to imagine what life was like during that time. Preserved by Welsh photographer Ken Welsh's keen eye for detail, this print captures not only the physical beauty but also serves as a testament to our shared history. It stands as a reminder of how cultures have intertwined over centuries on these Caribbean islands. While appreciating this remarkable piece of history through Design Pics' archive collection, let us reflect on how far we have come while acknowledging the rich heritage that forms our present-day reality.
