EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "HAWAII: KAUAI, 1778. An Inland View in Atooi (Kauai)" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The drawing, created by an unknown artist based on a sketch by John Webber, the shipboard artist for Captain James Cook during his voyage in 1778, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Hawaiian people. In this late 18th-century scene, we are transported to the lush island of Kauai in Polynesia's Pacific archipelago. The tropical landscape is adorned with vibrant foliage and towering palm trees that sway gently against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. Nestled within this idyllic setting is a traditional Hawaiian village bustling with activity. The native inhabitants go about their daily routines, providing us with insight into their rich cultural heritage. From fishing boats dotting the nearby shoreline to villagers engaged in various tasks such as farming or crafting intricate objects, every detail captures the essence of Polynesian life at that time. As we admire this remarkable piece of artistry and historical documentation, it serves as a reminder of Captain Cook's exploration and encounter with these fascinating Pacific Islanders over two centuries ago. It invites us to appreciate both the beauty of Hawaii's natural landscapes and its indigenous communities who have thrived there for generations.
