EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beautiful island of La Réunion, a French overseas department located in the Indian Ocean. The image is part of a series on the French colonies and depicts the vibrant trade and agriculture that thrived on this tropical paradise in the early 20th century. The chromolithography technique used to create this print brings out the vivid colors of the landscape, highlighting its natural beauty. The picture captures an array of plants and crops that were imported to La Réunion, including coffee, grapes, cotton, cinnamon, cacao, and sugar cane. These agricultural products played a significant role in shaping both local cuisine and commerce. The view of a city in the background adds depth to this composition while also hinting at human habitation on this remote island. It serves as a reminder that despite its isolated location, La Réunion was an important center for regional trade during colonial times. This print offers us a glimpse into history by showcasing not only the diverse flora found on La Réunion but also shedding light on France's colonial presence in this part of the world. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical document capturing an era when botanical exploration and economic expansion went hand-in-hand.
