Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into the turmoil that engulfed Samoa during this period. The image portrays a scene of intense conflict and political rivalry. Two rival kings, surrounded by their loyal supporters, stand at the forefront of the composition. Their expressions reveal determination and defiance as they vie for power amidst the chaos. Intriguing details emerge from every corner of this artwork. The presence of HMS Porpoise suggests foreign involvement or observation in these Samoan affairs. A board guard stands watchfully nearby while canoes dotting the water hint at potential escape routes or reinforcements arriving from afar.
