EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "HAWAII: CANOE, 1779" takes us back in time to the enchanting islands of Polynesia. The image showcases a remarkable copper engraving by Charles Grignion, created around 1785, based on a drawing from 1779 by John Webber. The focal point of the artwork is an intricately designed canoe from the Sandwich Islands (now known as Hawaii). The rowers are masked, adding an air of mystery and intrigue to their presence. Their helmets suggest that they may be warriors or protectors of their island home. The stunning landscape surrounding the canoe transports us to this tropical paradise with its lush mountains and crystal-clear waters. It's evident that transportation played a vital role in the lives of these native islanders, as they skillfully navigate through the Pacific Ocean using outrigger canoes. This etching beautifully captures both the maritime heritage and natural beauty of Polynesia. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural history and seafaring traditions of these Pacific Islanders. Displayed within The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, this print offers viewers a glimpse into a bygone era where nature and human ingenuity coexisted harmoniously. Whether you're drawn to its historical significance or simply captivated by its aesthetic appeal, this artwork is sure to transport you on an imaginary journey across time and space
