EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed plan of a magnificent canoe, or "outrigger" from the Archipelago of Santa Cruz. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this engraving is a true testament to the beauty and craftsmanship of traditional seafaring vessels. The intricate lines and precise measurements depicted in this image offer viewers a glimpse into the remarkable engineering behind these canoes. The outrigger design, with its lateral support floats extending from one side, ensures stability even in rough waters. This particular canoe was inspired by Labillardiere's observations during his exploration of the Archipelago. Originally featured as an illustration for Robert Brown's book "The World Its Cities and Peoples" published around 1885, this digitally cleaned image now resides in a private collection. The restoration process has brought out every fine detail, allowing us to appreciate both the artistic skill involved and gain insight into historical maritime practices. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to an era when canoes were not merely means of transportation but symbols of cultural identity and connection to nature. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, humans have relied on their ingenuity to navigate vast oceans and explore distant lands.
