EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the picturesque scene of Victoria, the capital city of the Seychelles, as it looked in 1903. The image showcases the Victorian-era architecture that once dominated the town, with the imposing Victoria Memorial and the Town Hall taking center stage. The Victoria Memorial, a grand monument dedicated to Queen Victoria, stands proudly in the foreground. Constructed in 1903, the memorial is a testament to the strong historical ties between the Seychelles and the British Empire. The intricate details of the memorial, including its ornate columns and intricate carvings, are beautifully preserved in this photograph. In the background, the Town Hall, another iconic Victorian-era building, can be seen. The Town Hall, which was also built in 1903, served as the seat of local government and was the center of administrative and social life in Victoria. Its red-tiled roof, tall arches, and grand entrance make it a striking addition to the city's skyline. The photograph also provides a glimpse into the past of this idyllic Indian Ocean island nation. The lush greenery, clear blue skies, and calm waters of the ocean create a serene and tranquil atmosphere. The absence of modern structures and the presence of horse-drawn carriages add to the sense of history and nostalgia. This photograph is a valuable historical record of Victoria as it appeared over a century ago. It offers a glimpse into the past and provides a fascinating insight into the architectural and historical heritage of the Seychelles.
