EDITORS COMMENTS
This panorama slide, taken circa 1903, showcases the breathtaking view of Kingston, the capital and largest city of Jamaica. Located on the south-eastern coast of the island, Kingston faces a natural harbor and was established in 1692. Officially known as the Commonwealth of Jamaica, this island nation is part of the Greater Antilles in the Caribbean Sea. Surrounded by crystal-clear waters, Jamaica is situated south of Cuba and west of Hispaniola, home to the nation-states of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. The image reveals a mosaic of red-tiled rooftops, their warm hues contrasting against the clear blue sky. The city's vibrant energy is palpable, with the occasional chimney or lantern adding character to the scene. This photograph, part of the Boswell Collection (Box 108, Slide 6), offers a glimpse into the rich history and charm of Kingston and Jamaica during the early 1900s.
