EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled "Natives of Tahiti on War Canoes," is an exquisite depiction of the ancient Tahitian culture and their traditional war canoes, or pirogues. The image, created by the skilled hands of Sasso after the original painting by William Hodges, is a captivating representation of the rich history and traditions of the South Pacific Island of Tahiti. The engraving showcases a lively scene of Tahitian warriors preparing for battle, with several war canoes adorned with intricate carvings and vibrant colors, ready to set sail. The natives are shown standing confidently in the canoes, wielding oars and holding shields and spears. The sail, made of fine mats, billows in the wind, adding to the dynamic energy of the scene. The Tahitian people, known for their strong connection to the sea and their vibrant culture, are depicted in their traditional attire, which includes colorful tattoos, flowing garments, and elaborate headdresses. The handcolouring adds depth and detail to the engraving, bringing the image to life and allowing the viewer to truly appreciate the beauty and intricacy of the Tahitian people and their way of life. This engraving is taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World," published in Florence, Italy, in 1844. It is a testament to the enduring fascination with the exotic and the unknown, and serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Tahitian people and the Pacific Islands.
