EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Papua or New Guinea (engraving)" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of this exotic land. The image showcases a native village in Papua or New Guinea, beautifully captured by an English School artist. The scene is alive with vibrant details - from the traditional canoes gracefully gliding on the water to the intricately woven cane bridge connecting different parts of the village. The dense forest trees provide a lush backdrop, emphasizing the remote and untouched nature of this place. One cannot help but be fascinated by the trading activities taking place within this bustling community. Native houses dotting the landscape suggest a close-knit society where people gather for social interactions and commerce. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for The Children's Friend in 1888, making it even more special as it offers insight into how children were educated about far-off lands during that era. As we admire this historical artwork, let us appreciate its ability to transport us through time and space. It serves as a reminder of our shared human heritage and encourages curiosity about distant cultures and their unique ways of life.
