EDITORS COMMENTS
This graphite and wash print by Admiral Sir Edward Gennys Fanshawe transports us to the stunning Maitea [Mehetia] island in the Society Islands on August 20th, 1849. The intricate details of Fanshawe's 'Daphne' under full sail against the backdrop of the bold rock of Maitea are truly mesmerizing. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can almost feel the gentle sea breeze and hear the soothing sounds of waves crashing against the shore. The artist's skillful hand captures not just a moment in time, but an entire atmosphere filled with wonder and tranquility. Maitea is depicted as a small uninhabited island off Tahiti, its rugged mountains rising majestically from the crystal-clear waters surrounding it. The ship sailing past symbolizes adventure and exploration, reminding us of humanity's eternal quest to discover new horizons. Fanshawe's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pencil, bringing to life a scene that feels both timeless and fleeting. This print serves as a window into a bygone era, inviting us to immerse ourselves in the beauty of nature and maritime travel. In this black-and-white masterpiece, we find solace and inspiration in the simplicity and grandeur of Maitea island captured on paper over 170 years ago.
