EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Album of the Isle of Pines, title page, 17th August 1878" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by the French School in the 19th century, this print is housed at the Musee d'Art et d'Histoire in Saint-Denis, France. The image showcases the title page of an album that was meticulously crafted by deportees as a testament to their experiences on the Isle of Pines. This remote island served as a penal colony during colonial times and was located in Melanesia's New Caledonia territory. The album itself provides valuable insights into life on this Pacific Ocean island. It was edited by Leonce Rousset and features stunning lithographs created by Hocquard. The pages are filled with vivid engravings depicting various aspects of daily life - from hammocks swaying between trees to indigenous Melanesian women going about their routines. As we explore this historical artifact further, we discover that it also served as a weekly journal for communards exiled to this distant land. The album offers glimpses into both communal living arrangements and individual stories within this unique community. One striking detail captured within these pages is an intricately woven spider web adorning the title page – perhaps symbolizing resilience amidst adversity or simply reflecting nature's presence on this isolated island. Overall, this print serves as a powerful reminder of colonialism's impact and sheds light on lesser-known chapters in history
