EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Album of the Isle of Pines, Arrival of the deportees" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by French School in the 19th century, this print captures the arrival of deportees on the Isle of Pines in 1877. The image showcases a group of male prisoners standing along the picturesque coastline, their faces etched with weariness and resilience. The landscape surrounding them is both breathtaking and hauntingly remote, emphasizing their isolation from society. As they gaze out at the vast Pacific Ocean before them, one can only imagine the mix of emotions that must have consumed these men. This album holds great historical value as it was created by these very deportees themselves as evidence of their experiences on this distant island. It serves as a testament to their strength and determination amidst harsh conditions. The Isle of Pines served as a penal colony during this time period, reflecting France's colonial presence in Melanesia. This engraving sheds light on an often-overlooked aspect of colonialism - its impact on those who were forcibly relocated to far-flung territories. Through this lithograph, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in history - when lives were uprooted and destinies forever altered. It stands as a reminder not only of past injustices but also our responsibility to remember and learn from them.
