EDITORS COMMENTS
The engraving captures a momentous occasion in the history of Norfolk Island - the consecration of the Bishop Patteson Memorial Church (St Barnabas). The image showcases the grandeur and architectural beauty of this stone church, which stands as a testament to faith and community. As we gaze upon the print, our eyes are drawn to the congregation assembling outside the church. Native students, trustees, and members of the Melanesian Church Mission come together with local residents to witness this sacred ceremony. The right reverend J. R. Selwyn leads the proceedings, his presence commanding respect and reverence. The artwork not only highlights the significance of this consecration but also serves as a visual celebration of architecture and design. The intricate details on display demonstrate skilled craftsmanship that went into creating such an awe-inspiring structure. This engraving transports us back in time to 1881 when this monumental event took place. It allows us to appreciate how places of worship hold deep cultural meaning for communities across Pacific Islands like Norfolk Island. Through artistry and historical documentation, we can now share in their joyous moment forever captured within this print. It reminds us that monuments like these serve as more than just physical structures; they represent unity, spirituality, and human achievement throughout generations.
