EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of French Guiana at the end of the 19th century transports us back in time to Place des Palmistes in Cayenne. The engraving by Riou, based on a photograph, is featured in Onesime Reclus' work "France, Algeria and colonies," offering a glimpse into the colonial era of this South American territory.
The scene captures the essence of a bustling city square with palm trees lining the streets and grand buildings in the background. The architecture reflects the influence of French colonialism, showcasing a blend of European and local styles.
As we study this historical image, we can imagine the vibrant life that once filled these streets - from traders selling their goods to locals going about their daily routines. It serves as a reminder of the complex history and cultural heritage that shaped French Guiana during this period.
Through black-and-white tones and intricate details, this engraving preserves a moment frozen in time, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty and complexity of this colonial outpost. It stands as a testament to our shared past and invites us to reflect on how far we have come since those days at Place des Palmistes in Cayenne.
