EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Searching for small Octopi on the Reef at low tide, Samari, British New Guinea" we are transported to the early 20th century and immersed in a scene of adventure and exploration. The image, a colour lithograph by Norman Hardy, showcases a group of individuals engaged in an intriguing quest amidst the picturesque backdrop of Samari's reef. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, it becomes evident that these intrepid souls are driven by curiosity and a desire to uncover nature's hidden treasures. With their eyes fixed on the coral-strewn seabed exposed during low tide, they diligently scour every nook and cranny in search of elusive octopi. The vibrant hues captured through the lithographic process bring life to both the characters and their surroundings. We can almost feel the warmth of the tropical sun as it bathes them in its golden glow while casting mesmerizing reflections upon crystal-clear waters. This remarkable artwork serves as an illustration for E Way Elkington's book "The Savage South Seas". It not only transports us back to a time when British New Guinea was still uncharted territory but also invites us to appreciate humanity's insatiable thirst for knowledge about our natural world. Through this evocative image from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded that even today, there is much left undiscovered beneath Earth's vast oceans – waiting patiently for explorers who dare venture into its depths.
