EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in October 1907, depicts the construction of a mangrove bark store at Picault Island, a tranquil and secluded part of the Aldabra Group in the Outer Islands of the Seychelles. Situated approximately 1,000 kilometres (620 miles) southwest of Mahe Island, the Aldabra Group is renowned for its unique natural beauty and rich biodiversity. The mangrove bark store, built using a sturdy timber framework, is an essential structure for the local community. Mangrove bark has long been used by the inhabitants of the Seychelles for various purposes, including roofing, fuel, and the production of charcoal. The bark is particularly valuable on Picault Island, where it is harvested from the abundant mangrove forests that line the island's shores. The store, which functions as a warehouse for drying the harvested bark, is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the islanders. The timber frame provides a robust and durable structure, while the open sides allow the bark to be exposed to the sun and wind for proper drying. The construction of the store is a collaborative effort, with the community working together to ensure its successful completion. The intricate details of the frame, the carefully placed timbers, and the meticulous arrangement of the bark on the drying racks reveal the skill and craftsmanship of the builders. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the people who once called Picault Island home. It is a poignant reminder of the deep connection between the islanders and their natural environment, and the importance of preserving traditional practices and knowledge for future generations.
