EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the beauty and craftsmanship of a Drua, also known as Na Drua, N'drua, Ndrua or Vaka Tepu - a double-hulled voyaging canoe from Fiji. The intricate design of this traditional Melanesian vessel is truly awe-inspiring, showcasing the skill and ingenuity of the Fijian people. The Drua has long been an important mode of transportation in the islands of Fiji, with its unique catamaran-like structure allowing for swift and efficient travel across the open seas. This historical canoe holds a special place in Fijian culture, symbolizing their connection to the ocean and their seafaring heritage. As we gaze upon this illustration from Enciclopedia Ilustrada Segui, published around 1900, we are transported back in time to an era when these majestic canoes ruled the waters surrounding Fiji. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable, capturing every curve and line of the Drua with precision and care. Whether used for trade, exploration or ceremonial purposes, the Drua remains a powerful symbol of Fijian identity and resilience. Its presence on this print serves as a reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape life in these beautiful Melanesian islands.
