EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting city of Port Moresby in the 19th century. The image, sourced from The Colonial Portfolio by The Werner Company in London, showcases a bustling scene filled with various elements that define this era. In the foreground, we see a group of local men standing proudly next to their boats on the coastal waters. Their mixed race backgrounds reflect the diverse ethnicity present in Port Moresby during this time. Behind them stands a remarkable house on stilts, which exemplifies the unique architectural style prevalent in New Guinea. The landscape is awe-inspiring, with vast stretches of sea extending into the horizon. This setting highlights how water transport played a crucial role in connecting people and goods across different regions. As we delve deeper into this snapshot of history, it becomes evident that colonialism had left its mark on Port Moresby. The presence of European buildings amidst traditional structures signifies an evolving cultural landscape shaped by external influences. This monochrome print not only captures a specific moment but also serves as a testament to human progress and geographical features that have defined Port Moresby for centuries. It invites us to reflect upon our shared heritage while appreciating both the beauty and complexities embedded within this vibrant city's past.
