EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Island of France (Mauritius), view of Port-Napoleon" takes us back in time to the colonial era. The print showcases the stunning landscape of Mauritius, known as the Island of France during this period. The artist behind this masterpiece is Jacques Milbert, a French painter who lived from 1766 to 1840. His attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing the essence of Port-Napoleon with remarkable precision. The image transports us to a bustling port town nestled within a picturesque bay. We can almost feel the salty breeze on our faces as we gaze at the ships gracefully sailing through crystal-clear waters. The sight is truly mesmerizing. In addition to its natural beauty, this engraving also provides insight into the cultural and agricultural aspects of life on the island during colonization. From afar, we can see lush mountains serving as a backdrop for fields cultivated by both natives and colonists alike. Port-Louis (also referred to as Port Louis) stands proudly in the foreground—a testament to human ingenuity and exploration. This vibrant town represents an important chapter in history when colonies were established across distant lands. As we admire this historical artwork preserved by Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, let us appreciate its artistic value while acknowledging its significance within a complex colonial context.
