EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, published in 1897, offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the rich and diverse Oceanic Australian culture. The print showcases an array of Polynesian objects that represent different facets of this vibrant heritage. At first glance, one's eyes are drawn to the intricate lance from Fiji Islands (1), exuding both elegance and power. Nearby, a feather dance scepter from Hawaii (2) captures the essence of grace and rhythm. Moving on to Gilbert Islands, we encounter shark harpoons (3 + 19), essential tools for survival in these coastal communities. The print also features fascinating artifacts such as a fan from Hawaii (4), adorned with delicate craftsmanship, and a dance cap from Hervey Archipelago (5), reflecting the cultural significance of headwear in their performances. Feather helmets (6-7) further exemplify Hawaiian artistry and warrior traditions. Other notable items include a cult stick from Hervey Archipelago (8), symbolizing religious rituals; a striking feather-head ring from Hawaii (9); exquisite warrior jewelry from Tahiti (10); an idol representing spiritual beliefs in Tahiti (11); and a formidable club originating from Santa Cruz (12). Tapa cloth hailing all the way from Tonga (13) adds texture to this visual narrative while an opulent feather coat worn by Hawaiian nobility takes center stage at number fourteen. Feather masks follow suit at numbers fifteen through seventeen - enigmatic symbols shrouded in mystery. The print
