notes:
Taken from William Clark's Ten views of the island of Antigua, London, 1823, six of the original images were used to compile this work for the Ladies's society. The images are accompanied by a large-print narrative describing each image, intended to be read by a class of beginning readers. Clark identifies this estate as being Bodkin's estate and the fort as being Monk's Hill, a military station, where signals are hoisted for communication with St. John's. The pieces of sugar cane are placed horizontally in the cane-hole.
