EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history from 1870, showcasing soldier exercise in the courtyard of a barracks in Noumea, New Caledonia. The soldiers are seen diligently training, their military uniforms adding to the sense of discipline and order.
The architecture of the barracks provides a glimpse into the colonial past of New Caledonia, with its European design standing out against the backdrop of Oceania. The image offers a window into the complexities of colonialism and military presence in this region during the 19th century.
The composition and lighting in this photograph by Lux-in-Fine evoke a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. It is as if we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the daily routines and exercises of these soldiers stationed far from home.
As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we can't help but marvel at how much has changed since then while also reflecting on how some aspects remain eerily similar. This photo serves as both an artistic representation and a valuable historical document that sheds light on an important period in New Caledonia's past.
