EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Spearing Fish, British New Guinea" we are transported back to the early 20th century, immersing ourselves in a moment of history. The colour litho by Norman Hardy beautifully captures an indigenous fisherman engaged in the ancient art of spearing fish. The vivid colours and intricate details bring to life the exotic landscapes and rich cultural traditions of British New Guinea. As we gaze at this image, we can almost feel the warm tropical breeze on our skin and hear the gentle lapping of waves against the shore. This artwork is not just a visual feast; it also holds historical significance. It was originally created as an illustration for E Way Elkington's book, "The Savage South Seas". Through this lens, we gain insight into how explorers from Britain documented their encounters with distant lands during that era. As we admire this piece from a private collection, it serves as a reminder of humanity's deep connection with nature and our timeless pursuit for sustenance. The skillful technique employed by Hardy allows us to appreciate both the beauty and practicality behind traditional fishing methods. "Spearing Fish, British New Guinea" invites us to reflect on our own relationship with nature while appreciating the diverse cultures that have shaped our world throughout history.
