EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century captures a moment of cultural exchange and warm hospitality. Titled "The natives waving palm-leaves as a sign of welcome" it showcases the indigenous people's gesture of greeting to explorers or navigators arriving on their shores. In this scene, we witness an exploration party led by French School adventurers being greeted by native inhabitants. The locals stand tall, holding palm leaves in their hands, which they wave gracefully towards the newcomers. Their friendly smiles and open arms reflect a genuine desire to embrace these visitors with warmth and acceptance. This artwork holds historical significance as it was originally created as an illustration for Jules Verne's renowned book, "The Great Navigators of the Eighteenth Century". It beautifully depicts one aspect of the encounters between European explorers and native populations during that era. Through this image, we are reminded of the immense geographical discoveries made by brave navigators who ventured into uncharted territories. It also serves as a reminder that exploration is not merely about conquering new lands but also about understanding different cultures and forming connections with those who call these places home. "The natives waving palm-leaves as a sign of welcome" invites us to appreciate both the beauty of nature represented by the palm leaves and the universal language of hospitality displayed by these indigenous people.
