EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in the history of New Caledonia, showcasing the indigenous Canaques people in front of a box or meeting house. The engraving, featured in "La Nature" magazine in 1878, is now part of a private collection. The artist behind this remarkable piece remains unknown. The image provides a glimpse into the civilization and habitat of the Canaques population during the 19th century. In this engraving, we see a group of Canaques individuals standing proudly together, possibly engaged in an important gathering or discussion. The homemade structure they stand before symbolizes their unique way of life and cultural practices. As French natives living on this remote island territory known as New Caledonia, these Canaques represent an integral part of its diverse population. Stefano Bianchetti has skillfully preserved this historical moment through his restoration work on the original engraving. Now out of copyright, it allows us to appreciate and learn from the rich heritage and traditions that shaped New Caledonia's past. As we delve into this intriguing image captured by Stefano Bianchetti's lens, we are reminded not only of our shared human history but also how art can bridge gaps between different cultures and generations.
