EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "A Kaivakuku, Roro Tribe, Central Division, British New Guinea" takes us back to the early 1900s and offers a glimpse into the rich history of this remote region. The image showcases a member of the Roro Tribe named Kaivakuku, adorned in traditional attire and standing proudly against a backdrop that reflects the untouched beauty of British New Guinea. The colour lithograph was created by Norman Hardy, an artist known for his meticulous attention to detail. This particular artwork is part of a private collection and was originally featured in "The Savage South Seas" written by E Way Elkington and published by A&C Black in 1907. It serves as an illustration that brings to life Elkington's vivid descriptions of this fascinating tribe. As we observe Kaivakuku's striking features and intricate body art, we are reminded of the diversity and richness found within different cultures around the world. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also acts as a window into an era when exploration and documentation were paramount. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, viewers can appreciate this historical gem without commercial use or association with any company. It stands as both an artistic masterpiece and valuable historical artifact that allows us to connect with our past while celebrating the resilience and uniqueness of indigenous communities like the Roro Tribe.
