EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Pirogue of the Marquesas islanders" takes us on a visual journey to the 19th century. The print showcases a remarkable scene from Jules Verne's renowned book, "The Great Navigators of the Eighteenth Century". It depicts an intricately designed pirogue, a traditional canoe used by the indigenous people of the Marquesas Islands. The image transports us to a time when exploration and discovery were at their peak. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can almost feel the excitement and anticipation that filled the air as navigators embarked on daring expeditions across uncharted waters. The engraving not only captures the beauty of this ancient mode of transportation but also highlights its significance in geographical exploration. The pirogue served as an essential vessel for these brave explorers who ventured into unknown territories, mapping out new lands and expanding our understanding of geography. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the courage and determination displayed by both navigators and islanders alike. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and our innate desire to explore beyond what is known. As we admire this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let it inspire us to embrace our own spirit of adventure. May it remind us that there is always more waiting to be discovered if we dare to set sail into uncharted waters.
