The Hospitable Behaviour of the Governor of Timor to Lieutenant Bligh - A Glimpse into History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, created by the English School in the 19th century, transports us back in time to witness a remarkable moment of hospitality and camaraderie. The scene depicts an encounter between Lieutenant Bligh and the Governor of Timor, beautifully illustrating their amicable interaction. As we delve into this historical narrative, we discover that this engraving is part of George Courtney Lyttleton's renowned work, "The History of England". It serves as a visual representation within Lyttleton's book, embellishing his words with its exquisite artistry. Intriguingly, this particular event took place during a significant period when France had established its overseas territories. However, it is important to note that this artwork does not focus on French culture or any commercial aspect; rather it highlights an extraordinary display of hospitable behavior. Lieutenant Bligh stands at the center of attention while being warmly received by the Governor. Their body language exudes respect and friendship as they engage in conversation amidst lush surroundings. This image captures a fleeting moment frozen in time—a testament to diplomacy and understanding between nations. Preserved within a private collection today but made accessible through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this print allows us to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance. It invites us to reflect upon moments when humanity transcends borders and fosters unity among diverse cultures—an enduring reminder
