EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1885 showcases the regal presence of THAKOMBAU, King of the VITI Islands in the Ocean Pacific. Crafted by a French School artist from the 19th century, this print transports us to a time when tradition and civilization intertwined harmoniously in Oceania. The image captures an indigenous human figure adorned with traditional attire, exuding strength and dignity. The native features reflect a rich cultural heritage that has thrived for centuries on these islands. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are reminded of the vibrant population that calls this region home. THAKOMBAU's majestic aura is palpable as he gazes into the distance, perhaps contemplating his role as king and leader of his people. His presence symbolizes not only power but also a deep connection to ancestral traditions passed down through generations. Jaime Abecasis skillfully preserves this historical moment through his lens, capturing every intricate detail with precision. The Pacific Ocean serves as a backdrop, emphasizing the island's geographical significance while highlighting its profound relationship with water. As viewers immerse themselves in this engraving, they are transported back to an era where kings ruled over vast territories and carried immense responsibility for their subjects' well-being. This artwork serves as both a visual testament to Thakombau's reign and an invitation for us to explore and appreciate Oceania's rich cultural tapestry captured within Jaime Abecasis' lens.
