EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in Fiji's history - The Great Council of Chiefs at Bau. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image is part of a private collection. The scene depicts His Excellency the Governor inspecting the Guard of Honour during this important gathering. The Great Council of Chiefs held immense power and influence as they represented various Fijian tribes and clans. This assembly played a crucial role in decision-making processes, especially during colonial times when Fiji was under British rule. The photograph serves as an illustration for "The Colony of Fiji, 1874-1924" a publication by S Bach, Government Printer in 1924. It highlights the significance of this event within Fiji's historical narrative. It is worth noting that copyright for these photos is credited to the Government of Fiji, emphasizing their importance as official records. The image provides us with a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and political dynamics that shaped Fiji during this period. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece from the 1920s, allowing us to appreciate its historical value today. As we observe His Excellency inspecting the Guard of Honour against the backdrop of Bau Island, we are reminded of how photographs can transport us back in time and offer insights into moments that have shaped nations.
