EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in 1909, captures the picturesque view of the Saint-Denis riverbed in Saint-Denis, the largest city and capital of the French overseas department and island of Réunion, located in the southwestern Indian Ocean. The image, part of The Roseries Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the tranquil beauty of the river as it meanders through the lush greenery and flows into the azure waters of the Indian Ocean. The serene riverbank, dotted with tall trees and shrubs, provides a peaceful contrast to the bustling cityscape of Saint-Denis, which can be seen in the background. The calm waters reflect the clear blue sky, creating a mirror-like effect that adds to the overall charm of the scene. Réunion, an volcanic island with diverse landscapes, is known for its unique blend of French and Creole culture, as well as its stunning natural beauty. The island's rich history is reflected in its architecture, which is a mix of colonial and modern styles. The Saint-Denis river, which runs through the heart of the city, has played an essential role in the development of the city and the island as a whole. This photograph, taken over a century ago, serves as a reminder of the enduring charm and natural beauty of Saint-Denis and Réunion Island. It invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and sensations of this exotic destination, making it a must-see for anyone with a sense of adventure and a love for the natural world.
