EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene on Picault Island in the Aldabra Group of the Outer Islands of the Seychelles, taken in October 1907. The entire island appears to have been transformed into a mangrove bark harvesting and drying ground. The labourers, dressed in simple white shirts and pants, are seen gathered around the shop, likely taking a break from their arduous work. The shop, with its rustic wooden shelves and tin roof, stands as a focal point of the image, providing a sense of community and respite for the hardworking men. The Aldabra Group, located approximately 1,000 kilometres (620 miles) southwest of Mahe Island, is part of the Indian Ocean's breathtaking Seychelles archipelago. The islands are renowned for their stunning natural beauty, but this image offers a glimpse into the island's industrial past. The mangrove bark, which was harvested and dried, was used for various purposes, including the production of charcoal and the manufacture of rope. The camp staff, who lived on the island, are also visible in the background, tending to the drying mounds of bark. The vast expanse of the island, covered in mangrove trees, stretches out behind them, a testament to the scale of the industry. The photograph provides a fascinating insight into the lives of the labourers who lived and worked on Picault Island during this time, and the importance of the mangrove bark industry to the island's economy.
