EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Crossing the Isabella, Santo Domingo, 1873" takes us back in time to the enchanting Caribbean island of Hispaniola. The image captures a moment of daily life as two men on horseback courageously navigate their way across the mighty Isabella River. The scene exudes a sense of adventure and resilience, with the riders skillfully guiding their horses through the rushing waters. The powerful connection between man and animal is evident in this snapshot from history, showcasing both human determination and equine strength. The engraving technique used to create this print adds an artistic touch to the composition. It beautifully renders every detail, from the flowing river currents to the texture of each horse's mane. This monochromatic depiction transports viewers into a bygone era when water transport was essential for traversing geographical features like rivers. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of Samuel Hazard's comprehensive book "Santo Domingo: past and present, with a glance at Hayti". Through his writings and illustrations like this one, Hazard provides valuable insights into Dominican Republic's rich geography and cultural heritage during that period. This print serves as a visual portal connecting us to our ancestors' experiences in Santo Domingo over 150 years ago. It invites us to appreciate not only their struggles but also their resourcefulness in overcoming natural obstacles while embracing nature's beauty along the way.
