EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The Dubu at Rigo, British New Guinea" takes us back to the early 20th century and offers a glimpse into the rich history of this remote region. Captured in vibrant color lithography by Norman Hardy, this image showcases a remarkable scene that is both intriguing and mysterious. Intricately detailed, the Dubu structure stands proudly amidst its lush surroundings in Rigo, British New Guinea. The Dubu holds great significance in the local culture as it serves as a communal house for important ceremonies and rituals. Its unique architectural design reflects the artistic craftsmanship of the indigenous people who call this land home. 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, Elkington's work aimed to shed light on the customs and traditions of these distant lands. Through his words and Hardy's visual interpretation, readers were transported to far-off places like British New Guinea. Preserved within a private collection today, this print continues to captivate viewers with its historical value and cultural significance. It reminds us of our shared human heritage and encourages us to appreciate diverse cultures around the world. Bridgeman Images has once again brought forth an extraordinary piece from their Fine Art Finder collection – one that invites contemplation about our past while inspiring curiosity about different corners of our planet.
