EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning beauty of Polynesia, a group of islands nestled in the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean. Taken from a series of world maps by John Tallis & Co. , this particular artwork transports us back to the 1850s, offering a glimpse into the enchanting allure of these remote and idyllic destinations. The intricate engraving by John Rapkin captures every detail with precision and artistry. The vignette illustrations by H. Winkles, skillfully engraved by T. Wrightson, add depth and character to this visual masterpiece. One such illustration portrays the picturesque Harbour of Dore in New Guinea, inviting viewers to imagine themselves sailing through its crystal-clear waters. As we explore this map further, our eyes are drawn to Resolution Bay and Sandwich Islands – names that evoke curiosity about their history and significance within Polynesia's rich cultural tapestry. Otaheite (Tahiti) and Kalakakooa (Marquesas) also grace this map with their presence, reminding us of their importance as iconic landmarks in this region. The Stapleton Collection proudly houses this remarkable piece from British history, allowing us to appreciate its timeless charm today. As we gaze upon it, we cannot help but be captivated by the sheer majesty and allure that Polynesia holds for adventurers seeking paradise on Earth.
