EDITORS COMMENTS
This image brings to life the historic encounter between Captain Samuel Wallis of the Royal Navy and Queen Oberea of Tahiti in 1767. The Society Islands, located in the Pacific Ocean, were discovered by Wallis during his exploratory voyage. Initially, the encounter was marked by hostilities as the Tahitians were wary of the intrusion of foreigners into their lands. However, Wallis' diplomatic skills and respect for the local culture eventually won them over. In this photograph, Wallis is depicted standing respectfully before the regal Queen Oberea, dressed in traditional Tahitian attire, adorned with flowers and jewels. The peaceful scene contrasts the initial turmoil of their encounter, symbolizing the beginning of a new friendship between the British and the people of Tahiti. The lush greenery and crystal-clear waters of the island provide a serene backdrop to this significant moment in Pacific history. Captain Wallis' voyage to the Society Islands was a pivotal event in the age of exploration and discovery. His encounter with Queen Oberea marked the first recorded contact between Europeans and the people of Tahiti, paving the way for further exploration and interaction between the two worlds. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural exchange that took place in the Pacific during this time.
