EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ingovas Head-hunters, British Solomon Islands" takes us back to the early 20th century in Oceania. The colour lithograph, created by Norman Hardy, offers a glimpse into the historical and cultural significance of the region. The image showcases a group of Ingova head-hunters from the British Solomon Islands, their faces painted with intricate designs that speak volumes about their traditions and beliefs. With spears in hand and determination etched on their faces, these warriors exude both strength and mystery. This artwork was originally featured as an illustration for E Way Elkington's book "The Savage South Seas" published in 1907. It serves as a visual representation of Elkington's vivid descriptions of life in this remote part of the world. As we delve deeper into this photograph, it becomes clear that it is more than just a snapshot frozen in time; it is a testament to the rich history and heritage of the Solomon Islands. Through this image, we are transported to an era where head-hunting was not only practiced but also celebrated as an integral part of tribal culture. With its vibrant colors and attention to detail, this print allows us to appreciate both the artistic talent behind its creation and the fascinating story it tells about one corner of our diverse planet.
