EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Motu Village, Port Moresby, British New Guinea" transports us back to the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into the rich history of this remote region. The vibrant colors and intricate details captured in this lithograph by Norman Hardy (1864-1914) bring to life the essence of Motu Village. Set against a backdrop of lush greenery and surrounded by crystal-clear waters, the village appears as an oasis nestled within nature's embrace. The thatched-roof huts dotting the landscape showcase traditional architecture while hinting at a simpler way of life. One can almost imagine hearing the sounds of laughter and conversation drifting through the air. This image was originally created as an illustration for E Way Elkington's book "The Savage South Seas" published in 1907. It serves as a visual representation of Elkington's vivid descriptions, providing readers with an immersive experience. As we admire this piece from our private collection today, it reminds us of how far we have come since those early days in British New Guinea. It offers us an opportunity to reflect on our shared human history and appreciate cultures that may be vastly different from our own. Through this photograph, we are transported across time and space to witness a moment frozen forever – capturing not only Motu Village but also preserving a slice of history for generations to come.
