EDITORS COMMENTS
Paddling gently over the still waters at the Island of San Christobal, this print captures the serene beauty of the South Pacific. Taken in 1908 by renowned artist Norman Hardy, this colour lithograph showcases a scene from his illustrated book 'Peeps at Many Islands, The South Seas. ' The image transports us to the tranquil shores of San Christobal, one of the Solomon Islands. A lone male paddler gracefully maneuvers his canoe through calm and crystal-clear waters, creating ripples that reflect vibrant hues under the bright Pacific sun. As we gaze upon this prismatic picture, we are reminded of the untouched splendor found within these remote isles. The lush greenery on Makira Island provides a stunning backdrop to this idyllic moment captured by Hardy's lens. This photograph not only serves as a visual delight but also offers an insight into life in Melanesia during that era. It evokes a sense of peace and harmony with nature while showcasing traditional modes of transportation and leisure activities. Preserved in private collection for decades, this timeless artwork continues to captivate viewers with its ethereal beauty and historical significance. Let it transport you to distant lands where tranquility reigns supreme and leave you yearning for your own adventure amidst these enchanting islands.
