EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Island of Elevera from the Mission Station, Port Moresby, British New Guinea" takes us back to the early 20th century and offers a glimpse into the history of this remote island. The image, captured in vibrant color lithography by Norman Hardy, showcases the breathtaking beauty of Elevera as seen from the mission station in Port Moresby. The lush greenery and crystal-clear waters surrounding the island create a picturesque scene that is both serene and awe-inspiring. It is evident why this place was chosen for a mission station; its natural charm must have provided solace to those seeking spiritual guidance in such an isolated location. This particular print was featured as an illustration in E Way Elkington's book "The Savage South Seas" published by A&C Black in 1907. Its inclusion in this publication highlights its significance as a visual representation of British New Guinea during that time period. As we admire this historical artifact, we are transported back to an era when exploration and discovery were at their peak. Through Hardy's lens, we can almost feel the warm tropical breeze on our skin and hear the gentle lapping of waves against Elevera's shores. This print serves not only as a reminder of our past but also as an invitation to explore further into the rich cultural heritage that lies within these distant lands.
