EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting Port Blair, the capital of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Indian Ocean, circa 1890. The artist Gillot beautifully captures the essence of this coastal town with its vibrant colors and tropical landscape. The image is part of a larger work on the customs and costume of the Andaman Islands and Ceylon by L Boulanger, providing us with a glimpse into life during that era. The palm trees sway gracefully in the breeze, adding to the idyllic atmosphere of this exotic location. Port Blair's strategic harbor can be seen in the background, serving as a gateway for trade and exploration. It is fascinating to imagine ships from distant lands docking here, bringing goods and cultures from around the world. As we gaze at this print, we are transported to a time when India was known as Hindoostan and colonial powers vied for control over these beautiful islands. The rich history and diverse geography make it evident why Port Blair has always been an important hub in this region. This print serves as a reminder of our connection to nature's wonders while also highlighting humanity's impact on these pristine landscapes. It invites us to appreciate both their beauty and fragility as we strive towards sustainable practices for future generations.
