EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history, showcasing the expedition led by Jean Francois de Surville in the South Seas from 1769 to 1770. The image depicts the sailors of Surville solemnly gathering the weapons left behind by indigenous people who tragically lost their lives during a battle on New Ireland, Papua New Guinea. Taken from "The Great Mariners of the 18th century" published in 1879 as part of Jules Verne's renowned three-volume work "The General History of Great Travels and of the frequent travelers" this illustration offers a glimpse into an era marked by exploration and discovery. Unknown Artist, hailing from the 19th century, skillfully brings this scene to life with intricate details and evocative brushstrokes. The composition exudes both curiosity and respect for these distant lands and cultures encountered during Surville's expedition. As we gaze upon this artwork now housed within a private collection, it serves as a reminder of our collective past – one filled with adventure, encounters between different civilizations, but also moments tinged with sorrow. It prompts us to reflect on how far we have come since those times while recognizing that there is still much more to learn about our world's diverse histories. Stefano Bianchetti has preserved this historical gem through his photography skills, allowing us to appreciate its beauty today. This image stands as testament not only to Surville's journey but also to humanity's unending quest for knowledge and understanding across time and space.
