EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the essence of Colonial Road, a historic artery connecting the picturesque towns of St Paul and St Gilles on the beautiful Island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean. Dated back to 1909, this image transports us back in time to the early 20th century, when the French overseas department was still deeply rooted in its colonial past. The rugged terrain of the island is on full display as the narrow, winding road cuts through the landscape, hugging the edge of towering cliffs and skirting around jagged rocks. The road, lined with lush vegetation, is a testament to the ingenuity and resilience of the French colonizers who built it, enabling travel between the two towns despite the challenging topography. In the foreground, a group of locals, dressed in traditional attire, are seen making their way along the road. Their presence adds a sense of authenticity to the scene and underscores the rich cultural heritage of the Island of Reunion. The clear blue waters of the Indian Ocean can be seen in the background, providing a stunning backdrop to the colonial road. The serene beauty of the ocean, with its gentle waves lapping against the shore, contrasts sharply with the rugged terrain of the land, creating a breathtaking tableau. This photograph is an invaluable document of the Island of Reunion's colonial past, offering a glimpse into a bygone era. It serves as a reminder of the island's unique history and its enduring charm, which continues to draw visitors from around the world."
