EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Fiji Government Printing Office in Suva during the early 20th century. The image, taken by an English photographer, showcases the machine section of the printing office where a book titled "The Colony of Fiji, 1874-1924" was being printed. The book was authored by S Bach and published by the Government Printer in 1924. In this fascinating snapshot, we get a glimpse into the inner workings of this important government institution. The view shows rows of machines diligently at work, churning out copies of books that would provide valuable information about Fiji's history during its colonial period under British rule. The photo evokes a sense of nostalgia for a time when printing technology was still in its infancy but played a crucial role in disseminating knowledge to the masses. It also highlights the significance placed on documenting and preserving historical records within colonial administrations. It is worth noting that copyright for these photos is credited to the Government of Fiji, adding another layer to their historical value. This particular print now resides in a private collection but has been made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform. Overall, this image offers us an intriguing window into both Fiji's past and the evolution of printing practices during this era.
