EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Fiji: Native Children, Namosi" captures the innocence and beauty of Fijian children in the early 20th century. Taken by an English photographer whose identity remains unknown, this print is a remarkable piece from a private collection. The image showcases a group of native children from Namosi, their faces filled with curiosity and joy. Their traditional attire reflects the rich cultural heritage of Fiji, while their radiant smiles reveal the warmth and happiness that radiates from within. Originally published as an illustration for "The Colony of Fiji" in 1924, this photo offers us a glimpse into life during British colonial rule. It serves as a reminder of the deep connection between history and art. With its timeless appeal, this photograph transports viewers to another era - one where simplicity prevailed over complexity. The composition draws attention to each child's unique personality while also highlighting their collective unity. As we admire this vintage masterpiece, it is important to acknowledge that copyright for these photographs belongs to the Government of Fiji. This print not only preserves precious memories but also represents an integral part of Fiji's cultural heritage. Bridgeman Images has done an exceptional job in making this historical gem accessible through Fine Art Finder. Through its lens, we are reminded of the enduring power that photography holds in capturing moments frozen in time.
