EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time as schoolchildren in Mahe, Seychelles, gather for a group photo in the 1910s. The Indian Ocean island, known for its stunning beaches and crystal-clear waters, is home to a diverse population, as reflected in this image. The children, dressed in their best clothes, sit and stand in neat rows, their faces filled with a mix of excitement and apprehension as they pose for the camera. In the top row, left, we see two boys, John Jewell and Norman Jewell, who are identified in the image. Their presence adds a personal touch to the photograph, allowing us to connect with the children as individuals rather than just a collective group. The boys, like their classmates, appear to be of various ethnicities, reflecting the rich cultural tapestry of Mahe. The photograph offers a glimpse into the education system of the time, with the children seated on benches in a primary school setting. The teacher, not visible in the image, would have been responsible for imparting knowledge and skills to these young minds, setting them on a path towards a brighter future. Despite the simple setting, this photograph is a powerful reminder of the importance of education and the universality of the school experience. It also serves as a poignant reminder of the past, offering a window into a time long gone and the lives of children who attended school on the beautiful island of Mahe in the Seychelles.
