EDITORS COMMENTS
Labourers House, Picault Island, Aldabra Group, October 1907: A snapshot of life on a remote Seychelles island Nestled in the tranquil waters of the Indian Ocean, Picault Island in the Aldabra Group of the Outer Islands of the Seychelles, lies a world far removed from the modern touristic allure of its more famous counterparts. In this photograph, taken in October 1907, we catch a glimpse into the daily lives of the labourers who inhabited this island, dedicated to the harvesting and drying of mangrove bark. The entirety of Picault Island seems to have been transformed into an industrial hub, with its lush palm groves and pristine beaches replaced by a vast expanse of mangrove trees. The labourers, dressed in simple clothing, are seen working tirelessly under the tropical sun, hoeing the mangrove roots to loosen the bark for collection. The Labourers House, a modest camp, serves as their temporary shelter. A collection of shacks, it provides a basic yet functional living space for the workers, who have left their families and familiar surroundings to contribute to this important industry. The simple, rustic structures, made of local materials, offer a stark contrast to the lush greenery that surrounds them. As the sun sets over the horizon, the labourers would return to their humble abode, weary from the day's work. The mangrove bark, once dried, would be shipped off to various destinations, contributing to the economic growth of the Seychelles. This photograph offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and dedication of the labourers who played a crucial role in the island nation's history.
