EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken in 1912, a distinguished group of officials and notable persons stand outside the grand Government House in Mahe, Seychelles, Indian Ocean. The British colonial administration was well-represented by the presence of Mr. de Boulay, Dr. Bradley, Bishop, Petrides, and Mr. Logan. The women in the group, including Ms. Halkett and the wives of Mr. Fiennes and Mr. Logan, add an elegant touch to the scene. The Government House, with its impressive columns, pillars, and balustrade, serves as a backdrop to this gathering. The building, a symbol of British colonial power, exudes an air of authority and grandeur. The officials, dressed in their finest attire, reflect the formal and ceremonial nature of colonial governance. The photograph offers a glimpse into the colonial past of Seychelles, a group of islands located in the Indian Ocean. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, where power and prestige were on full display. The presence of the officials outside Government House underscores the importance of formal gatherings and ceremonial events in the colonial administration. Despite the colonial context, the photograph also reveals the diversity of the group, with men and women of different backgrounds and nationalities coming together. This diversity reflects the complex and multifaceted nature of colonial societies, where power dynamics were shaped by a complex interplay of social, political, and cultural factors. Overall, this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the colonial past of Seychelles, providing insights into the people, power structures, and architectural grandeur of the era.
