EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Hawaiian culture and the exhilarating sport of surfing. Illustrated by Charles Barbant and published in 1878, it is a timeless depiction of Hawaiians riding the waves with grace and skill. The engraving showcases the stunning landscape of the South Pacific island, with its rugged coastline and majestic volcanic peaks. In this scene, male and female surfers can be seen effortlessly gliding on their boards across the turquoise waters. Their traditional attire reflects their indigenous roots, adding an authentic touch to this mesmerizing image. As they ride each wave, there is a sense of spirituality in their movements – perhaps a connection to nature or a form of prayerful expression. The illustration was inspired by Charles Victor Crosnier de Varigny's drawing during his travels in Hawaii in 1855. It beautifully captures not only the physicality but also the cultural significance that surfing holds for Polynesian communities. This artwork transports us to a time when surfing was more than just a pastime; it was deeply rooted in tradition and played an integral role in daily life. Through this enchanting print, we are reminded of Hawaii's rich heritage and its profound relationship with both land and sea.
