EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the pristine beauty of Picault Island in the Aldabra Group of the Outer Islands of the Seychelles, lies a scene of industrious activity. Dated back to October 1907, this photograph captures the staff quarters on Picault Island, with the Staff Flag proudly flying atop a flagpole. The island, located approximately 1,000 kilometres (620 miles) from Mahe Island in the Indian Ocean, appears to have been primarily dedicated to the harvesting and drying of mangrove bark. The image showcases a serene beach, dotted with the tall and majestic palm trees, providing a stark contrast to the bustling activity taking place in the background. The mangrove trees, an essential component of the island's ecosystem, are being meticulously harvested for their bark. The bark, once dried, was widely used for various purposes, including roofing, flooring, and even as a source of fuel. The presence of the staff quarters indicates that the work on the island was not a solitary endeavor. A team of dedicated workers, likely living on the island for extended periods, were responsible for the successful execution of this industry. The Staff Flag, a symbol of authority and unity, flies high, signifying the collective efforts and commitment of the team towards the harvesting and processing of the mangrove bark. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the island's rich history and the industrious spirit of its inhabitants. The harmonious coexistence of nature and human activity is evident, as the mangrove trees continue to thrive amidst the bustling industry, ensuring the sustainability of the island's resources.
