EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in Hawaiian history, as native islanders offer a sacrificial pig to Captain James Cook. The scene unfolds within the sacred Orono house, where twelve priests and a wooden idol stand witness to this solemn ceremony. Handcoloured by Sasso after John Webber's original artwork, this copperplate engraving showcases the intricate details of the event. The image transports us back to 18th-century Hawaii, providing a glimpse into the religious practices and cultural traditions of its indigenous people. The priests, dressed in their distinctive attire, exude an aura of reverence as they partake in this ritualistic offering. Meanwhile, Captain James Cook stands at the center of it all - an honored guest who is being presented with this symbolic gesture. Giulio Ferrario's Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World serves as both an educational resource and a visual feast for art enthusiasts. This particular print sheds light on one aspect of Hawaiian culture that was forever altered by encounters with European explorers like Captain Cook. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Florence, Italy in 1844, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and space to preserve moments that have shaped our collective history. It is through such prints that we gain insight into distant lands and cultures while appreciating their rich tapestry woven through rituals like these ancient ceremonies.
