EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning engraving of a Map of Fiji Islands, circa 1900, offers a glimpse into the past and the intricate cartography of the South Pacific. The detailed illustration showcases not only the main islands of Fiji but also includes an inset map of Rotuma Island, providing a comprehensive view of this archipelago in the Western Pacific Ocean.
The map, originally featured in the 10th edition of Encyclopaedia Britannica, reflects the navigational equipment and exploration techniques used during that time period. The old-fashioned style and attention to physical geography highlight the importance of maps as tools for guidance and understanding.
As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back to a time when maps were essential for sea travel and exploration. The intricate details and Western script on display serve as a reminder of how far cartography has come since then.
This print is not just a piece of artwork; it is a window into history, showcasing the beauty and complexity of Fiji's islands in all their glory. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and our desire to explore new horizons beyond what we know.
