EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print showcases the Kanak huts of New Caledonia, exhibited at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1889. The image, created by an anonymous French artist from the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the architectural and cultural heritage of this French overseas territory. The photograph captures a moment frozen in time, as visitors to the universal exposition marvel at these unique structures. The Kanak huts stand proudly among other buildings and pavilions, representing both their indigenous roots and their integration within the larger French culture. The Exposition Universelle was renowned for its grandeur and diversity, attracting exhibitors from all corners of the world. This particular print highlights not only New Caledonia's presence at this prestigious event but also sheds light on France's colonial influence during that era. As we admire this historical artwork today, it serves as a reminder of how exhibitions like these were instrumental in shaping our understanding of different cultures and promoting global exchange. It is through such visual representations that we can appreciate the rich tapestry of human civilization and celebrate our shared history. This print is part of a private collection and has been preserved over time to offer us a window into an important chapter in both French and New Caledonian history.
