EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Preparation of Kava, Fiji" takes us back to the 19th century in the South Pacific. The image showcases a significant cultural practice - the preparation of kava, a traditional drink made from the roots of the kava plant. The scene is alive with historical significance as we witness Fijian locals engaging in this ritualistic process. The engraver masterfully captures every detail, allowing us to immerse ourselves in this momentous occasion. We can almost hear the rhythmic pounding of the roots and smell their earthy aroma filling the air. The illustration was originally created by an English School artist for G. T. Bettany's book "The Worlds Inhabitants" in 1888. It serves as a valuable visual documentation of Fijian culture during that time period. As we gaze upon this print, it becomes evident that history comes alive through art. This image not only educates us about traditional practices but also transports us to a different era altogether. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from their private collection, reminding us how important it is to cherish and appreciate our shared human heritage. Let this enchanting engraving serve as a window into another time and place – where cultures intertwine and traditions are kept alive through generations.
