EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "A Pleasure Trip among the Islands of the Pacific" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the exotic beauty of the Tonga Islands. The print showcases a rich tapestry of scenes that transport us to this remote corner of paradise. In the foreground, we see a lush landscape dominated by a majestic pandanus tree, its sprawling branches providing shelter for villagers going about their daily activities. A bustling Tongan village comes alive with people loading goods onto boats while others engage in conversations or seek respite under large trees. The image also captures elements of local architecture, with traditional cane structures dotting the landscape. Further in the distance lies an expansive sugar field, highlighting one of Tonga's important industries at that time. Adding to the intrigue are references to other islands within this archipelago; Nukualofa, Vavau, Levuka – each promising its own unique charm and allure. This illustration was originally featured in The Graphic on September 19th, 1885 and has since become part of a private collection. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene from afar, it is impossible not to be captivated by both its natural beauty and cultural richness. Through this print, we embark on our very own pleasure trip across these Pacific islands - immersing ourselves in their vibrant topography and imagining what life must have been like during those distant times.
