EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Saint-Elie. Le Schluss (Rigole Pour L Or), (The Sluice, Prospecting for Gold), 1900" takes us back to the early 20th century in French Guiana. The image is sourced from the renowned publication "Autour du Monde - Fascicule XLVI" by L. Boulanger, Paris, in 1900. In this snapshot of history, we are transported to a remote gold mining site deep within the lush jungles of South America. A group of determined men can be seen standing near a wooden sluice or water channel used for extracting gold from the riverbeds. Their rugged appearance and work attire suggest that they are local miners engaged in laborious manual extraction processes. The composition beautifully captures both the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape and the industrious spirit of these men as they toil away under the scorching sun. The dilapidated building in the background hints at their humble living conditions while emphasizing their dedication towards this challenging occupation. Through this photogravure print, we gain insight into an important chapter in French Guiana's history – its association with gold mining during that era. This image serves as a reminder of how people across continents have long been driven by dreams of striking it rich through mineral extraction. As we observe this historical moment frozen in time, we cannot help but appreciate both the artistic value and documentary significance captured within this single frame
