EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant chromolitho print captures the bustling Port of Apia in Samoa during the late 19th or early 20th century. The European School artist skillfully depicts a scene filled with activity and cultural richness. In this educational Liebig card, part of a series on Samoa, we are transported to the Pacific Islands. The harbor is teeming with boats and ships, showcasing the importance of maritime transport in this coastal region. A tugboat maneuvers through the crystal-clear waters as it assists larger vessels docking at the jetty. The Pacific Ocean stretches out beyond, its vastness reminding us of both its beauty and power. Alongside the water's edge stand Polynesian locals, their presence adding depth to this image. Dressed in traditional attire, they bring an authentic touch to this snapshot of Samoan life. Their connection to their land and sea is evident as they go about their daily activities amidst a backdrop of lush greenery. The Port of Apia serves as a gateway for trade and travel between Samoa and other parts of the world. This print offers us a glimpse into an era when seafaring was essential for connecting distant lands. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical artwork from their private collection, allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its significance in documenting Samoan history and culture.
