EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of a coconut plantation in Taveuni, Fiji. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image showcases the lush greenery and abundant coconuts that define this tropical paradise. In the foreground, we see workers engaged in drying copra, a vital process for producing coconut oil. Their laborious task is depicted against a backdrop of towering palm trees and endless rows of coconut trees stretching into the distance. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the composition, emphasizing both the vastness of the plantation and its intricate details. This photograph was originally featured as an illustration for "The Colony of Fiji" published in 1924. It offers us a glimpse into Fiji's colonial past under British rule during that time period. The copyright for these historical photos is credited to the Government of Fiji. As we admire this image from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back to a bygone era when Fijians worked tirelessly on these plantations to sustain their livelihoods. It serves as a reminder of how nature's bounty has shaped not only Fiji's economy but also its cultural identity throughout history.
