EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the unique Fijian House Rafts, captured by an English photographer in the 20th century. The image is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into Fiji's rich cultural heritage. The Fijian House Rafts were not only functional but also served as a means to transport produce to the market. This particular photograph was featured in "The Colony of Fiji, 1874-1924" written by S Bach and published by Government Printer in 1924. It stands as a testament to the historical significance of these rafts during that era. Copyright for this photo is credited to the Government of Fiji, highlighting its importance as an official record of Fijian history. The image captures the essence of life in Fiji during the early 20th century, showcasing both British colonial influence and traditional Fijian culture. As we delve into this snapshot from the past, we are transported back to a time when these house rafts played a vital role in conveying produce across waterways. They symbolize resilience and resourcefulness while offering us a window into daily life on these idyllic Pacific islands. Through this evocative photograph, Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of Fiji but also its rich cultural tapestry that has been woven over centuries.
