EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Sketches in New Guinea, a Lakatoi, or Native Trading-Vessel, of Kerepunu" takes us back to the 19th century when exploration was at its peak. The image showcases a Lakatoi, a traditional trading vessel used by the indigenous people of Kerepunu in Papua New Guinea. The intricate details captured in this print allow us to marvel at the craftsmanship involved in constructing such a unique boat. The Lakatoi stands tall with its towering masts adorned with intricately designed sails that catch the wind effortlessly. Its sturdy hull is beautifully carved and painted with symbols representing cultural significance. As we delve deeper into this artwork, we can almost imagine ourselves aboard this vessel, sailing through unknown waters alongside these skilled seafarers. The scene evokes a sense of adventure and curiosity about what lies beyond the horizon. This engraving originally appeared as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on October 1st, 1887. It serves as both an educational tool and a window into history's maritime traditions. Through this artwork, we gain insight into the rich heritage of Papua New Guinea and appreciate the ingenuity of its native people. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with an extraordinary piece from their Fine Art Finder collection that transports us to distant lands and allows our imagination to set sail on uncharted waters.
