Framed Print of The Cours Nolivos, or Public Promenade of Basseterre, Guadaloupe, French West Indies, 1865. Creator: Unknown
The Cours Nolivos, or Public Promenade of Basseterre, Guadaloupe, French West Indies, 1865. Engraving of a sketch showing...the public promenade, named the Cours Nolivos, after the Count de Nolivos, who was Governor of the colony in 1765 and who planted the avenue of tamarind-trees which here afforded such an agreeable shelter till they were uprooted by the late storm...The French West Indies, consisting of Guadaloupe and Martinique, with the smaller islands attached to these, have a total population of 300, 000, three fourths of it being of negro race...The most valuable products of Guadaloupe are sugar, coffee, and cotton; the scenery in some parts is very picturesque, and the climate generally salubrious and pleasant. It is remarkable that neither serpents nor any kind of venomous insects are to be found in the forests of Guadaloupe; this exemption of the country from the plague of reptiles may probably be accounted for by some peculiarity of the soil or the atmosphere...Basseterre, the seat of Government...is a town of 9000 persons, situated at the foot of the volcanic mountain called the Soufriere, and having an open harbour or road, protected by Port Richepance and several batteries'.
