EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Celebrating Peace Day at Roturua, New Zealand" takes us back to a momentous occasion in history. The image, originally published in The Graphic on July 19th, 1902, beautifully captures the joy and exuberance of the people as they commemorate the end of the Second Boer War. In this illustration by George Soper, we witness a vibrant scene filled with energy and cultural richness. A diverse crowd gathers around a bonfire atop Pukeroa Hill, their faces illuminated by lanterns that hang from nearby trees. Men and women dressed in traditional attire dance gracefully to the rhythm of poi dances while others join in merriment. The women's grass skirts sway elegantly as they move to the beat, adding an enchanting touch to this celebration of peace. Young girls can be seen among them, embracing their heritage with pride. The atmosphere is electric; it is evident that this gathering holds great significance for all those present. As we gaze upon this historical engraving brought to life through lithography techniques, we are transported back over a century ago when unity triumphed over conflict. This powerful image serves as a reminder not only of past victories but also of our shared humanity and capacity for harmony. Through Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we are fortunate enough to relish in these glimpses into our collective history – moments like these that continue to inspire hope for a more peaceful world today.
