EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the engraving of "Omai" by J. Caldwall, created in 1777. The image captures the essence of Omai, also known as Mai, a Tahitian native who lived between 1774 and 1776. The portrait beautifully portrays his Polynesian features - his curly hair, broad nose, and undeniable charisma. The artist behind this remarkable piece is William Hodges (1744-97), whose talent shines through in every intricate detail of the engraving. This particular print is part of a private collection, adding to its exclusivity and historical significance. Omai's story is one that fascinates many; he was an individual who bridged cultures during a time when exploration was at its peak. His encounter with Captain James Cook brought him to England where he became somewhat of a celebrity among high society. As we gaze upon this extraordinary portrait, we are transported back in time to witness the meeting point between two vastly different worlds - Europe and Polynesia. It serves as a reminder of our shared humanity and the power art has to capture moments that transcend time.
