EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1920s in Fiji, showcasing the Fiji Defence Force. The image captures a Fijian Platoon standing tall alongside a Native Military Band, creating a powerful illustration of colonial history. The photographer, an English artist from the 20th century whose identity remains unknown, beautifully portrays this significant moment in time. This particular print is part of a private collection and was featured as an illustration for "The Colony of Fiji, 1874-1924" by S Bach. With copyright credited to the Government of Fiji, we are reminded of the British Crown's influence over this Pacific island nation during that era. The photo evokes curiosity about how these Fijians were involved in military operations under colonial rule. As we delve into this historical snapshot, it becomes clear that it represents more than just soldiers and musicians; it symbolizes cultural heritage and national pride. The Fijian Platoon stands strong with their traditional attire while the Native Military Band adds rhythm and melody to their display. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of art through Fine Art Finder. It serves as a visual gateway into understanding Fiji's past and its complex relationship with colonization.
