EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Fiji: A Rock Cod" takes us back to the 1920s, capturing a moment in time when British influence still held sway over the colony of Fiji. The image, taken by an English photographer whose identity remains unknown, showcases a magnificent rock cod fish that is not uncommon in these waters. The sheer size of this impressive creature reminds us of the rich wildlife that thrives beneath Fiji's crystal-clear turquoise seas. It serves as a testament to the diverse marine life found within this tropical paradise. This particular photograph was featured as an illustration in "The Colony of Fiji" a publication from 1924 authored by S Bach and printed by Government Printer. It is important to note that copyright for such photographs belongs to the Government of Fiji itself, highlighting their commitment to preserving their natural heritage. The image transports viewers into a world where nature reigns supreme and invites them to appreciate the beauty and wonder that lies beneath the ocean's surface. As we gaze upon this stunning rock cod, we are reminded of both its strength and vulnerability—a symbol not only for Fijian wildlife but also for the delicate balance between human presence and nature's resilience. This photograph captures a fleeting moment frozen in time—an homage to Fiji's past while serving as inspiration for future generations to protect its precious ecosystems.
