EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the bustling streets of Port Blair in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The artist Gillot beautifully captures the essence of this Indian Ocean town, showcasing its vibrant colors and tropical landscape. As we delve into this image from "Iles Andaman et Ceylan, Moeurs et Coutumes" by L Boulanger, we are transported to a time when life moved at a slower pace. The street is lined with palm trees swaying gently in the breeze, providing shade for the people strolling along its lanes. The architecture reflects both colonial influences and local craftsmanship, creating an intriguing blend of styles. The scene is filled with activity as locals go about their daily routines. Women dressed in colorful attire walk gracefully alongside men engaged in animated conversations. The road is busy with carts carrying goods and horse-drawn carriages transporting passengers through town. This print not only showcases the beauty of Port Blair but also offers insights into the customs and culture of these islands during that era. It serves as a valuable historical document that allows us to appreciate how much has changed over time while still preserving elements of tradition. Gillot's artistic talent combined with Boulanger's meticulous documentation creates an enchanting visual narrative that invites viewers to step back in time and immerse themselves in this charming corner of Hindoostan - Port Blair on the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
