EDITORS COMMENTS

Taken by George Rose, this image captures a traditional building with a distinct curved roof line. The hut stands tall on stilts, showcasing the ingenuity of its construction. The photograph provides us with a glimpse into the lives of the Melanesian people who called this island home. It depicts not only their architectural style but also their close connection to nature as they utilize thatch for roofing materials. The simplicity and functionality of the hut are evident in its design. George Rose's stereocard views were part of his collection titled "Studies through the Stereoscope". This particular print was intended to be viewed using a Sun Sculpture stereoscope made by Underwood & Underwood. Through these stereoscopic cards, viewers could immerse themselves in the beauty and culture of far-off lands like Sariba Island. As we admire this stunning photograph from over a century ago, we are reminded of how diverse our world truly is. It serves as a testament to both human creativity and adaptability within different environments.
