EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the inauguration of the first Quartz Mine in Saint-Elie, French Guiana, in 1900. The image showcases a group of men standing proudly at the entrance of the mine, surrounded by lush jungle and towering trees. The men, dressed in traditional mining attire, exude a sense of determination and accomplishment as they embark on this new venture. The photograph is rich in detail and color, with vibrant flags flying high above the wooden ramp leading into the mine. The scene reflects both the industrial progress and natural beauty that coexist in this remote location. The significance of this event is underscored by its inclusion in "Autour du Monde - Fascicule XLVI" a renowned book published by L. Boulanger in Paris during that time period. This publication aimed to showcase different cultures and industries from around the world. Through this photo print, we catch a glimpse into an era when local industry played a vital role in shaping communities across continents. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance amidst challenging environments. As we admire this remarkable piece of history captured through photogravure technique, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also recognize those who dedicated their lives to extract valuable minerals from deep within our Earth's crust.
