EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the breathtaking beauty of tropical scenery on Samarai Island. This stunning print by George Rose showcases the Quarantine Island, providing a glimpse into the former administrative capital in Milne Bay Province, now known as Papua New Guinea. The image is part of a set of stereocard views titled "Studies through the Stereoscope" designed to be viewed on a Sun Sculpture stereoscope made by Underwood & Underwood. The Rose Stereograph Company, based in Melbourne, Sydney, Wellington & London during the early 20th century, produced this remarkable collection. In this photograph from around 1909, George Rose skillfully captures the coastal charm and natural splendor that define Samarai Island. Lush trees and vibrant plants adorn its landscape against a backdrop of pristine bay waters. The tranquility exuded by this scene is truly captivating. This print serves as an invaluable historical document showcasing both the artistic talent of George Rose and the untouched allure of British New Guinea at that time. It allows us to appreciate not only the picturesque view but also provides insight into how landscapes have evolved over time. As we admire this mesmerizing image today, we are transported back to an era when quarantine islands played a significant role in safeguarding communities from infectious diseases. Through George Rose's lens and his mastery with stereoscopic photography techniques, we can immerse ourselves in this tropical paradise forever captured on film.
