EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the Colonial and Indian Exhibition held in London in 1886. The image showcases the Cyprus and Malta section of the exhibition, providing a glimpse into the cultural exchange between Europe and its colonies during this era of colonialism. At first glance, we are drawn to a magnificent weaving display at the North End of the Cyprus court. The intricate patterns created by skilled Cypriot artisans on their silk looms leave us in awe of their craftsmanship. As our eyes wander towards the South End, we see visitors from all walks of life marveling at these exquisite creations, symbolizing both curiosity and appreciation for foreign cultures. The juxtaposition between European influences and indigenous traditions is evident throughout this print. It serves as a reminder that exhibitions like these were not only platforms for showcasing exotic goods but also opportunities for colonial powers to assert dominance over their territories. As we delve deeper into this historical snapshot, it becomes clear that this engraving captures more than just an exhibition; it encapsulates an era defined by exploration, exploitation, and cultural assimilation. It invites us to reflect on how such events shaped perceptions of identity, power dynamics, and ultimately laid foundations for future relationships between colonizers and colonized nations. In collaboration with Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this print allows us to travel back in time while contemplating the complexities surrounding colonialism's impact on both sides - those who exhibited their heritage proudly alongside those who sought control through conquest.
