EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Montpelier Estates, St James" takes us on a picturesque journey through the stunning landscape of Jamaica. Engraved by Fielding in 1824 and colored litho by Hakewill, this artwork measures 13.8x21 cm and is now housed at the Yale Center for British Art in the Paul Mellon Collection. The image showcases the grandeur of Montpelier Estates, nestled amidst rolling hills and framed by the majestic Blue Mountains in the distance. As we gaze upon this scene, our eyes are drawn to an elegant entrance with a winding drive that leads us into this colonial community. A group of horses gracefully traverse along the drive, adding life and movement to the composition. These magnificent animals symbolize both power and freedom within this enclosed walled estate. The photograph captures not only a moment frozen in time but also offers us a glimpse into history. It evokes thoughts of grand tours undertaken by wealthy travelers during that era who sought to explore exotic destinations like Jamaica. Through this photo print, we can appreciate both the natural beauty of Jamaican landscapes as well as its rich colonial heritage. The juxtaposition between nature's splendor and human intervention creates a harmonious blend that invites viewers to immerse themselves in this enchanting world captured by James Hakewill.
