EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from a French geography book of 1880 transports us back to Polynesia - New Caledonia in the middle of the 19th century, where two Kanak warriors (Canaques) stand proudly. The intricate details captured in this print showcase the traditional weaponry and defensive armaments of these indigenous fighters.
The Kanak warriors are depicted with their bows and arrows, ready for battle. Their stoic expressions convey a sense of strength and resilience, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the people of New Caledonia. The intricate designs on their bucklers and traditional attire highlight the craftsmanship and artistry that was valued within their civilization.
As we gaze upon this historical image, we are reminded of the complex history and diversity that existed in Oceania during this time period. The presence of these warriors serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of indigenous populations who have called these lands home for generations.
Through this engraving by Patrice Cartier, we are given a glimpse into a world that is both foreign and familiar, sparking curiosity about the lives and traditions of those who inhabited Polynesia - New Caledonia in centuries past.
