EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts a double canoe of New Caledonia, showcasing the rich native culture of this island. The intricate details of the illustration bring to life the sailing boat used by the indigenous people for transportation and fishing in the 19th century. The image captures a moment frozen in time, revealing the skillful craftsmanship that went into constructing these canoes. The two hulls connected by sturdy beams create a stable vessel capable of navigating through rough waters. It is fascinating to see how this traditional mode of transport was an integral part of daily life on the island. The engraving not only showcases the physical aspects of the canoe but also provides insight into New Caledonia's cultural heritage. It serves as a window into a bygone era when communities relied on their ingenuity and resourcefulness to survive. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are transported back in time, imagining ourselves amidst these skilled fishermen as they set sail on their voyage. This print is not just an artistic representation; it is a testament to human resilience and adaptability.
