EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the picturesque scene of Clarence House in English Harbour, Antigua, West Indies, circa 1910. Nestled among lush greenery and overlooking the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean Sea, Clarence House stands proudly as a testament to the region's rich colonial history. The elegant building, with its red-tiled roof and whitewashed walls, served as the residence for the British Naval Commissioner during the early 1900s. The nearby Nelsons Dockyard, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, can be seen in the background, with its historic docks and ships anchored in the harbor. The serene atmosphere of this coastal scene is further enhanced by the tranquil waters and the gentle sway of the palm trees. The photograph transports us back in time to the 1910s, when the British Empire held sway over the West Indies and the bustling port of English Harbour was a hub of maritime activity. The architectural beauty of Clarence House, with its classic colonial design, is a reminder of the region's fascinating history and its enduring connection to the sea. The photograph invites us to imagine the stories of the people who lived and worked in this beautiful setting, and to appreciate the natural beauty and cultural heritage of the Caribbean.
