EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting Captain Cook's men interacting with the natives at Waimea village on Kauai island, Hawaii. The image showcases the cultural exchange between the sailors and the indigenous people of Atooi (now known as Kauai) during Cook's famous voyage to the Sandwich Islands. Handcoloured by Giovanni Antonio Sasso after John Webber's original artwork, this copperplate engraving is part of Giulio Ferrario's renowned collection titled "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World". Created in Florence, Italy in 1844, this piece offers a glimpse into different cultures from around the globe. The scene portrays a group of sailors engaging with locals near their traditional hut. The intricate details highlight not only their distinctive attire but also their daily activities. In particular, one can observe a sailor holding onto a barrel while others interact with native Hawaiians who seem curious about these foreign visitors. This remarkable print serves as an invaluable historical document that sheds light on early encounters between European explorers and indigenous communities. It symbolizes both curiosity and mutual respect amidst cultural differences. Preserved by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, it allows viewers to appreciate and reflect upon this pivotal moment in Hawaiian history captured through artistry and craftsmanship.
