The Swing of Neo-Zelandan Warriors in the Isthmus of Auckland
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a time when warriors roamed the lands of New Zealand. The engraving, created by Emile Bayard in 1865, beautifully captures a moment from Ferdinand de Hochstetter's journey to New Zealand between 1858 and 1860. In this scene, we see a group of Neo-Zelandan warriors engaged in an exhilarating game on the Isthmus of Auckland. Their powerful swings on the swing set evoke both strength and grace as they soar through the air. Amidst them stands a young girl, perhaps observing or waiting for her turn to join in on the fun. Bayard's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, bringing life to each figure depicted. The composition perfectly balances human figures against the vast exterior view of Oceania's landscape, emphasizing both their connection with nature and their playful spirit. The historical significance of this artwork lies not only in its portrayal of indigenous culture but also as part of Edouard Charton's "Le tour du monde" publication. This engraving offers us a glimpse into a bygone era while honoring the rich heritage and traditions that have shaped New Zealand. Leonard de Selva has preserved this remarkable piece within his private collection, ensuring that future generations can appreciate its beauty and cultural importance.
