EDITORS COMMENTS
Place d'Armes, Port Louis, Mauritius, 1895. This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Port Louis in the late 19th century. Standing proudly at the heart of Place d'Armes is a magnificent statue of Bertrand-Francois Mahe, comte de la Bourdonnais - a renowned French naval officer and administrator. The image captures not only the grandeur of this historical figure but also provides a glimpse into the vibrant maritime trade that defined Port Louis during that era. Beyond the square, we see ships gracefully anchored in the harbor, symbolizing the city's strategic importance as a trading hub. Surrounded by lush palm trees and other tropical plants, Place d'Armes exudes an air of tranquility amidst its lively surroundings. The monochrome palette adds an element of timelessness to this snapshot from history. This remarkable photograph was featured in 'Round the World in Pictures and Photographs: From London Bridge to Charing Cross via Yokohama and Chicago, ' published by George Newnes Ltd in London in 1895. Although its creator remains unknown, their skillful composition has immortalized both Mahe de la Bourdonnais' legacy and this picturesque corner of Mauritius. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to a bygone era when colonial influences intertwined with natural beauty – reminding us of our shared human history.
