Summary
[edit]DescriptionJohn Canoe festival.png |
English: This lithograph shows a man in a redcoat, white mask, a long-haired wig and carrying a model house on his head. Belisario described that this “is the most conspicuous of those who annually attract public notice.” His pseudo military dress-style was “in common with the whole John Canoe fraternity." He was always masked “with a profusion of dark hair, which is suffered to fall in large wild ringlets over his face and shoulders, giving his appearance an extraordinary and savage air. . . The house [on his head] is usually constructed of pasteboard and coloured papers — it is also frequently highly ornamented with beads, tinsel, spangles, pieces of looking glass, etc. etc. and being firmly fixed on a board, the bearer is enabled to balance it whilst going through many. . . contortions of body and limbs miscalled dancing.” Isaac Mendes Belisario (1795–1849) was a Jamaican artist of Jewish descent and active in Kingston Jamaica around British emancipation in 1833. The image shown here, as well as others of “John-Canoes,” was drawn from life by Belisario in 1836. This lithograph is one of twelve originally published in three parts, four plates at a time. |
