EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Memorial to Thomas Duke, a significant figure in Barbados' history. Created in 1750 by an unknown English artist from the 18th century, this painted wooden memorial can be found at the Cathedral Church of St. Michael in Bridgetown, Barbados. Thomas Duke was a respected statesman and Treasurer of Barbados until his passing in 1750. This memorial serves as a testament to his contributions and legacy within the British colonial community on the island. The photograph beautifully captures every intricate detail of this Georgian-style artwork. The wooden plaque features an inscription that commemorates Duke's life and accomplishments. Its elegant design reflects both British influence and West Indian aesthetics, showcasing the unique blend of cultures present during that era. Lucinda Lambton skillfully captured this image with her camera lens, allowing us to appreciate not only the artistry but also its historical significance. Through her lens, we are transported back to a time when epitaphs like these were common forms of remembrance for prominent individuals. This print is a remarkable piece that encapsulates both artistic beauty and cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder of our shared past and pays homage to those who have shaped our world today.
