EDITORS COMMENTS
A Striking Scene of Labor and Tradition: Gang of Labourers - Astove Island, Cosmoledo Group, Seychelles, October 1907 This evocative photograph captures a moment in time from the Outer Islands of the Seychelles, specifically Astove Island in the Cosmoledo Group, which lies approximately 1,000 kilometres (620 miles) southwest of Mahé Island. The image, taken in October 1907, presents a captivating tableau of local labourers engaged in the harvesting and drying of mangrove bark on the island's shore. The entire island appears to have been transformed into a bustling mangrove bark industry hub. The labourers, dressed in traditional attire, work together in a coordinated effort, their determined expressions and focused gaze revealing the intensity of their task. The boats, traditional and simple, are anchored on the sandy beach, adding to the scene's picturesque charm. The mangrove bark, a valuable resource, was primarily used for export, providing a crucial economic lifeline for the island's inhabitants. The process of harvesting and drying the bark was laborious and time-consuming, requiring the collective effort of the community. The bark was then shipped to various destinations, contributing to the global economy and fostering connections between distant lands. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the resilience and resourcefulness of the local population as they adapted to their environment and harnessed its natural resources. The image also underscores the rich cultural heritage and history of the Seychelles, a captivating archipelago in the Indian Ocean.
