EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, Governor O'Brien is seen standing proudly outside Government House on the picturesque island of Mahe, Seychelles, in the Indian Ocean. The year is 1914, and the era of colonialism is in full swing. The Governor, dressed in a crisp white suit and pith helmet, exudes an air of authority and confidence. His arms are folded across his chest, adding to the sense of command and control. Behind him, the grand Government House stands tall and imposing, a symbol of British colonial administration in the Seychelles. The building, with its colonial-style architecture, is surrounded by lush greenery and palm trees, providing a striking contrast to the Governor's formal attire. The image captures the essence of the colonial era, with its stark division between the European rulers and the indigenous population. The Governor's presence signifies the power and influence of the colonial administration, while the beautiful natural surroundings serve as a reminder of the unique beauty and richness of the Seychelles. Despite the historical significance of this photograph, it is important to remember that the colonial era was marked by exploitation, oppression, and the suppression of indigenous cultures. Today, the Seychelles is a thriving nation, proud of its diverse heritage and natural beauty. This photograph serves as a reminder of the complex and often controversial history of colonialism and its impact on the Seychelles and its people. The On Call in Africa Collection, from which this photograph is taken, is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Africa and its colonization. The collection offers a unique insight into the people, places, and events that shaped the continent's past, and serves as a testament to the richness and diversity of African history.
