EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting Kings Wharf in Suva, Fiji, as seen from a northern perspective. Taken by an English photographer during the 20th century, this image is part of a private collection. It was originally featured as an illustration in "The Colony of Fiji, 1874-1924" by S Bach, published by Government Printer in 1924. The photograph showcases the bustling activity at Kings Wharf, which served as a vital hub for trade and transportation during Fiji's colonial era under British rule. The copyright for these historical photos is credited to the Government of Fiji. In this snapshot from the 1920s, we catch a glimpse of Fijian life against the backdrop of Suva's scenic waterfront. The image evokes nostalgia for a time when steamships docked at Kings Wharf and goods were unloaded onto its busy docks. As we peer into this window to the past, we can almost hear the sounds of seagulls overhead and feel the warm tropical breeze on our faces. This photograph serves as a testament to both Fijian heritage and British influence on this island nation. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of history through their Fine Art Finder collection. It allows us to appreciate not only the aesthetic beauty but also gain insight into Fiji's rich cultural tapestry woven with colonial threads.
