Saint-Denis on Réunion, the Indian Ocean island once called Bourbon, is seen through its colonial buildings and its waterfront. An antique view of 1835 shows the Hôtel du Gouvernement before later alterations removed its central dome, an 1885 print shows the marina, and plates of 1895 depict the cathedral and the barracks of the marine infantry. Vuillemin's map of 1903 sets the town on its island, with an inset of the Kerguelen Islands, and P. Pollacchi's vintage sheets for the Atlas Colonial Français, in editions of 1929, 1931 and 1938, carry an inset of the town beside Mayotte and the Comoros.
