EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Native Archer shooting Fish, British Solomon Islands" takes us back in time to the early 20th century. The image, a colour lithograph by Norman Hardy, showcases the remarkable wildlife and cultural practices of the Solomon Islands. In this scene, we witness a native archer skillfully aiming his bow and arrow at a school of fish swimming beneath him. The vibrant colours of the litho bring to life the lush surroundings and crystal-clear waters that serve as both habitat and hunting ground for these islanders. The photograph is part of a private collection and was originally featured in E Way Elkington's book "The Savage South Seas" published by A&C Black in 1907. It serves as an invaluable historical document, shedding light on the rich history and traditions of this remote region. As we admire this artwork, it's impossible not to be captivated by the delicate balance between man and nature depicted here. This image reminds us of our deep connection with wildlife and how indigenous communities have long relied on their natural environment for sustenance. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we can now appreciate this extraordinary piece that encapsulates Oceania's beauty while honoring its past.
