EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a lively scene at the beach of Ambodifotatra on Nosy Boraha island, also known as Ile Sainte-Marie, located on the eastern coast of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. The date of this image is estimated to be around 1908. A large crowd of locals and visitors gather on the sandy shore, enjoying the sunny day and the crystal-clear waters. Women and children play and frolic in the shallows, while men and older boys engage in various activities, such as fishing and boat building. The tall, shady trees along the beach provide a welcome respite from the sun, their branches reaching out towards the water. The serene beauty of the Madagascan islands is on full display, with the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean stretching out towards the horizon. Ambodifotatra, meaning 'good foot' in Malagasy, was a popular destination for European travelers and sailors due to its strategic location and abundant natural resources. Today, the island is known for its rich history, beautiful beaches, and unique cultural heritage.
