EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Thakombau, roi des iles Viti" transports us back to the enchanting islands of Fiji in the 19th century. The image showcases Thakombau, a revered king reclining with an air of regality and power. The French School's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this print, capturing every intricate line and shadow that brings Thakombau to life. The engraving exudes a sense of grandeur as it depicts the king adorned in traditional Fijian attire, complete with elaborate headdress and ceremonial jewelry. Originally published as an illustration for Le Tour Du Monde in 1861, this digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate the artistry even more vividly today. It offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Fiji and its royal lineage. Thakombau's commanding presence invites us to reflect on the history and significance of monarchy within Fijian society. His stoic expression hints at his wisdom and authority over his people. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of the power that art holds in preserving moments from our past. This engraving serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and a gateway into understanding the historical context surrounding Thakombau's reign as king of Viti (Fiji).
