EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from 1877, titled "Album of the Isle of Pines, view taken from the Pines beach" offers a glimpse into the stunning landscape of this remote island in New Caledonia. The image was part of an album created by deportees as a testament to their experiences on the island. The Isle of Pines, known for its breathtaking beauty and pristine beaches, is showcased in all its glory in this print. The French School artist skillfully captures the essence of this Melanesian territory with its lush greenery and crystal-clear waters that stretch out towards the horizon. As one gazes at this lithograph, they are transported to a time when colonialism and penal colonies were prevalent in French history. It serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by those who were deported to these far-flung lands. The coastline depicted here is both tranquil and awe-inspiring, inviting viewers to imagine themselves strolling along the sandy shores or taking a dip in the Pacific Ocean's refreshing waters. The presence of Kanak people adds depth to this scene, highlighting their connection to their homeland despite being displaced. This historical artwork not only showcases natural beauty but also sheds light on significant aspects such as deportation and communal living during that era. Preserved within Musee d'Art et d'Histoire in Saint-Denis, France, it continues to captivate audiences today with its rich cultural significance and artistic brilliance.
