Under Two Flags (circa 1955) - A Glimpse into the New Hebrides Islands
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the mid-20th century, offering a rare glimpse into the islands of the New Hebrides, now known as Vanuatu. The image showcases a square vessel boat, possibly a lifeboat, floating peacefully in Pacific waters. Its flag flutters proudly in the wind, representing both France and Great Britain - two nations that jointly governed these enchanting islands. The New Hebrides archipelago was once an intriguing blend of European influence and indigenous culture. This photograph encapsulates that unique era when colonial powers shared governance over this tropical paradise. The monochromatic format adds a timeless quality to the scene, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance. As we delve deeper into this image, we are transported to an untouched world where nature reigns supreme. Lush greenery surrounds the boat on all sides while distant mountains provide a majestic backdrop against clear skies. It is easy to imagine oneself immersed in this serene environment – feeling the gentle sway of waves beneath our feet and breathing in the salty air. Through "Under Two Flags". Three Lions/Getty Images invites us to reflect upon a bygone era and ponder how history has shaped present-day Vanuatu. This print serves as a visual time capsule that captures not only breathtaking natural beauty but also hints at complex political dynamics that have influenced these remote Pacific islands for centuries.
