EDITORS COMMENTS
Queen Pomare IV of Tahiti and her second husband, Prince Ariifaaite, are captured in this exquisite engraving after a drawing by Gautier Saint Elme. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the last ruler of Polynesia from 1827 to 1877 and her beloved companion. Queen Pomare IV, born in 1803, reigned over her people for five decades with grace and determination. In this portrayal, the queen exudes regality with her elegant attire and dignified posture. Her husband stands beside her, displaying strength and loyalty. Their union represents not only a personal bond but also symbolizes the unity between their respective realms. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. Each line conveys depth and emotion, capturing the essence of these historical figures who played significant roles in shaping Polynesian history. This print was originally featured in "Le tour du monde" edited by Edouard Charton in 1876—a testament to its enduring cultural significance. Preserved within the Selva Collection, it continues to captivate viewers today. Leonard de Selva has masterfully preserved this artwork through his lens, allowing us to appreciate its beauty while honoring the legacy of Queen Pomare IV and Prince Ariifaaite. As we gaze upon their likenesses frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when Pacific culture thrived under their rule.
