EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning photograph capturing the picturesque harbor of Noumea, New Caledonia. The image, published in "Grande Geographie Bong Illustree" in 1914, showcases the vibrant and bustling town nestled between the clear blue waters and lush green hills. The harbor, known as "La Grande Passe," is filled with a variety of ships, both large and small, anchored and at dock. The French colonial influence is evident in the architecture of the buildings along the waterfront, with their whitewashed walls and red-tiled roofs. The town of Noumea, the capital of New Caledonia, is a melting pot of cultures, with a rich history that reflects its French, Melanesian, and Polynesian heritage. The photograph captures the essence of Noumea as a tropical paradise, with its warm climate, crystal-clear waters, and beautiful scenery. The image transports us back in time to the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into the past and the history of this fascinating island nation in the Pacific. Despite the passage of time, Noumea remains a popular tourist destination, known for its stunning beaches, diverse culture, and unique blend of modern amenities and natural beauty. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Noumea and the Pacific Islands, and a reminder of the rich history and heritage that continues to shape this beautiful corner of the world. The creator of this photograph remains unknown, but it serves as a valuable historical record of Noumea and the Pacific Islands during the early 20th century. The image is a treasure for anyone with an interest in history, travel, or the natural beauty of the world.
