EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning watercolour print captures the beauty of Bora Bora's southeast side within the reef on September 5th, 1849. Painted by Admiral Sir Edward Gennys Fanshawe, this piece is part of his Pacific album and offers a glimpse into the picturesque Society Islands.
Fanshawe's perspective from inside the outer-reef island of Motu Pitiaau provides a unique view of the bay across an isthmus from Pofai Bay. The lush greenery, crystal-clear waters, and majestic mountains in the background create a serene and captivating scene that transports viewers to this idyllic Polynesian paradise.
The vibrant colors and intricate details in Fanshawe's painting bring to life the essence of French Polynesia in the 19th century. The calm sea, rocky coastline, and distant mountains evoke a sense of tranquility and wonder, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in this remote island oasis.
As you gaze upon this exquisite artwork, let yourself be transported back in time to experience the natural beauty and untouched landscapes of Bora Bora as captured by one talented artist over a century ago.
