EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving from the Liszt Collection transports us back in time to the picturesque town of Levuka, located on the eastern coast of Ovalau, a Fijian island in the Lomaiviti Province. The focal point of this print is Thakambau, an influential figure and chief who ruled Fiji during that era. Thakambau stands proudly on board the "Wairarapa" a ship that played a significant role in connecting Levuka with other parts of Fiji and beyond. This image offers a glimpse into the bustling maritime activity that once characterized this vibrant coastal town. The intricate illustrative technique employed in this engraving showcases both the artistic skill and historical significance associated with such engravements. It serves as a testament to Victorian arts and culture prevalent during the 19th century. With its retro-styled aesthetic, this vintage print evokes nostalgia for bygone eras while preserving an important piece of history. It allows us to appreciate not only Thakambau's leadership but also provides insight into Fiji's capital city at that time. As we admire this remarkable piece, let it serve as a reminder of how art can transport us across centuries, offering glimpses into different cultures and times gone by.
