EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling activity at the Camp for Labourers on Picault Island in the Aldabra Group of the Outer Islands of the Seychelles, taken in October 1907. The island, located approximately 1,000 kilometres (620 miles) southwest of Mahe Island, is seen in the midst of a transformation as the whole landscape appears to have been dedicated to the harvesting and drying of mangrove bark. The camp, partly under construction, serves as temporary housing for the workers and staff involved in this industry. The structures, made of simple materials, are arranged haphazardly, reflecting the urgency and intensity of the work underway. The laborers, dressed in white, can be seen working diligently in the background, with piles of mangrove bark drying in the foreground. The Indian Ocean, with its crystal-clear waters, forms a beautiful backdrop to the scene, adding a sense of tranquility and contrast to the industrious atmosphere on the island. The mangrove bark, an essential resource for various industries, was harvested and dried on Picault Island and other islands in the Aldabra Group during this period. The bark was used for making ropes, mats, and other products, making this industry a significant economic activity for the region. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the labor-intensive methods used in the mangrove bark industry during the early 20th century. It also highlights the resilience and determination of the laborers and staff who lived and worked on the island, contributing to the economic development of the Seychelles.
