EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, capturing a moment in time on the Isle of Pines in New Caledonia. The image depicts a pirogue, a traditional Melanesian canoe, gracefully gliding through the calm waters of the Pacific Ocean. The intricate pen and ink drawing was created by an unknown deportee, providing a glimpse into their artistic expression amidst their struggles. The landscape surrounding the pirogue is breathtakingly beautiful; lush greenery blankets the island while distant mountains rise majestically against the horizon. This enchanting scene transports us to a remote corner of French territory where colonialism and penal colonies once dominated. The presence of this pirogue symbolizes both transportation and escape for those who were forcibly relocated or imprisoned on these far-flung shores. It serves as a reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of those who found solace in these ancient vessels. Displayed within Les Missions Catholiques bulletin from 1893, this engraving captures not only historical context but also cultural significance. It offers us an opportunity to reflect upon past injustices while appreciating the beauty that can emerge even in times of hardship. As we gaze at this remarkable artwork, we are transported across time and space, immersing ourselves in New Caledonia's rich history and its enduring connection with its indigenous people.
