EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 19th century, capturing the awe-inspiring power of nature at The Volcano of Kilauea. Taken by an American photographer, this image is a part of a private collection that showcases the beauty and grandeur of this Hawaiian landmark. The photograph was originally featured in "The Dream City" a portfolio of photographic views from The World's Columbian Exposition held in Chicago in 1893. It serves as an illustration for this remarkable event, highlighting the significance and impact of Kilauea on visitors from around the world. Intriguingly, this volcanic marvel is not just about fire and destruction but also holds deep cultural meaning for Hawaiians. Known as Pele, the goddess associated with volcanoes, she symbolizes both creation and destruction. This photo captures her fiery presence amidst celebrations during The World's Fair. As we gaze upon this historic snapshot, we can almost feel the heat radiating from within its depths. It reminds us of how human fascination with natural wonders has been captured through photography since its early days. This particular image stands out due to its powerful composition and monochromatic palette. Whether you are drawn to volcanoes or intrigued by historical events like The World's Columbian Exposition, this photograph offers a glimpse into a moment frozen in time - where nature meets celebration on a grand scale.
