EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Port Maria, St. Mary's, 1825" takes us on a journey back to the early 19th century in Jamaica. Created by James Hakewill, an artist known for his picturesque tours of various locations, this print showcases the beauty and charm of Port Maria. The scene depicted in the engraving transports us to a time when colonialism was prevalent in Jamaica. The lush meadows and towering trees create a serene backdrop against which we see boats gently gliding across the water. These boats serve as means of transport for passengers, highlighting the importance of waterways during that era. As we explore this image further, it becomes evident that Hakewill has captured not only the natural landscape but also elements of British influence. The presence of colonial buildings hints at Port Maria's connection to Great Britain and its status as a British colony. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into life during the late 19th century in Jamaica—a time when transportation was limited yet filled with possibilities. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of technological advancements while also celebrating the enduring beauty and history found within these landscapes. This enchanting print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate both the artistic talent of James Hakewill and gain insight into an important period in Jamaican history.
