EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating glimpse into the ceremonial presentation of food in Fiji. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image showcases a carefully arranged stack of cooked taro and yams, with whole roast pigs placed at intervals on top. The significance of this display lies in its connection to traditional Fijian culture. The stacked food represents an offering or tribute, likely prepared for a special occasion or ceremony. Each element is meticulously placed, highlighting the importance and reverence attached to these rituals. The composition itself is striking, with the contrasting textures and shapes creating a visually captivating scene. The dark tones of the photograph enhance the drama and intensity of the moment captured. This particular image was featured as an illustration for "The Colony of Fiji" published in 1924. It provides valuable insight into Fiji's history during British colonial rule from 1874 to 1924. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage that exists within Fiji's culinary traditions. This print serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and a testament to the deep-rooted customs that continue to shape Fijian society today.
