A depiction of Bahamian history was painted car rental company on several screens by the English-born artist Diana B. L. Pullinger over fifty years ago. Originally owned by the memorable Nassau Shop on Bay Street, it was later donated to the Bahamas Historical Society. Diana Pullinger befriended members of the Erickson family who had a home in Nassau and owned a salt-operation in Inagua, the West Indian Chemicals Ltd. Through her friendship with the Ericksons, she visited Nassau and other West Indian, Central and South American countries where she continued painting. Her marriage to Clive Cavil was fortuitous, as he was appointed Director of Public Works by The Bahamas government.
While living in Nassau she continued painting car rental company including large murals for various organizations. Jim Lawlor, President of the Bahamas Historical Society, intrigued by the screens outlining Bahamian history, examined them closely and had the idea to produce a booklet describing the historical scenes as depicted by Diana Pullinger in 1957. Jim offered to draft the text which begins with the Lucayans and ends with the General Election of 2012.
I should like to thank and congratulate Jim Lawlor for his initiative in writing the text. This publication gives a concise account of the major periods in Bahamian car rental company history. The Bahamas Historical Society is grateful to the late Diana Pullinger for her artistic depiction of our history. My hope is that the booklet will be read by Bahamians and visitors alike, and that it will whet their appetite to conduct further research into our fascinating history. This publication is another great achievement for the Bahamas car rental company Historical Society made possible through the generosity car rental company of the Lyford Cay Foundation.
