EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of New Caledonia, showcasing the celebration of mass on the isle of Nou. The image is based on a pen and ink drawing from 1875, originally published in the bulletin Les Missions Catholiques. The scene depicts a group of clergy members, including priests and bishops, dressed in their robes and gathered around an altar under a tropical tree. The audience consists of prisoners who have been transported to this remote French territory as well as local Melanesian people. This powerful display exemplifies the efforts made by missionaries to evangelize and spread Catholicism in overseas territories during colonial times. The photo highlights not only religious aspects but also sheds light on themes such as deportation, colonialism, and faith. It showcases how religion played a crucial role in providing solace and hope for both prisoners and deportees alike. The composition beautifully captures the serene atmosphere with its vibrant colors contrasting against the backdrop of lush vegetation. The presence of a baobab tree adds an exotic touch to this unique setting. Overall, this print serves as a visual testament to the historical significance of New Caledonia's religious mission during that era while offering viewers an opportunity to reflect upon its cultural impact within this archipelago nation.
