Iles du Salut, Guardians churchyard in St. Joseph Island
We have a few cards from Iles du Salut (Islands of Salvation), which include this one–St. Joseph–as well as Ile Royale and Ile du Diable (Devil’s Island), made famous long ago in real life and in cinema. St. Joseph is the second-largest of the three, at 20 hectares. We could go on, but if one can get past the cruel history, the place is without doubt exotic. Unused G. Delabergerie card 69, captioned in both French and English. Very atmospheric. Grade: 2
