EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of surfing, a beloved Hawaiian pastime. In this image, we see women gracefully navigating the waves with remarkable balance, whether standing or sitting on their boards. The crests of the waves carry them towards the shore as they skillfully maneuver through the water. The engraving is based on Emile Bayard's original drawing and depicts a scene from C. de Varigny's voyage to the Sandwich Islands between 1855 and 1869. Published in "Le tour du monde" under Edouard Charton's direction in 1873, this artwork offers a glimpse into an era when surfing was still relatively unknown outside of Hawaii. The composition exudes a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature. It showcases not only the physical prowess required for surfing but also highlights its profound connection to Hawaiian culture and traditions. This particular print belongs to Leonard de Selva's private collection, showcasing his passion for preserving historical artworks that capture significant moments in time. Through this image, viewers are transported back to an era where women embraced this exhilarating sport with grace and poise. As we admire this timeless piece of artistry, let us celebrate the rich history behind one of Hawaii's favorite games – surfing – forever etched onto paper by Emile Bayard over a century ago.
