EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a lively fancy dress party at Government Cottage in Seychelles, Indian Ocean, in the year 1913. The image is filled with an air of leisure and enjoyment as men and women, dressed in elaborate costumes, gather together on the lush grassy lawn. In the front row, fourth from the left, Sydney Auchinleck Jewell is seen smiling brightly at the camera. Sydney was a prominent figure in Seychelles during this era, known for his contributions to the development of the islands. His wife, Dr N.P. Jewell, stands in the back row, second from the left, adding to the vibrant energy of the group. The Government Cottage, a historical landmark in Seychelles, serves as the perfect backdrop for this social event. The elegant Victorian-era house, surrounded by lush greenery and the crystal-clear waters of the Indian Ocean, exudes an aura of sophistication and charm. The guests at the party have let their hair down, shedding their formal attire in favor of fantastical costumes. Some are dressed as jesters, others as clowns, and a few as exotic animals. The diverse range of costumes adds to the whimsical atmosphere, making for an unforgettable evening of fun and merriment. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and vibrant social scene of Seychelles during the early 1900s. It offers a glimpse into the lives of its residents, showcasing their love for leisure, community, and the beautiful natural surroundings that make Seychelles a truly unique destination.
