EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the enchanting village of Timotu in Santa Cruz, circa 1892. The image showcases the remarkable round houses that were once home to the native people of this Pacific island paradise. With their thatched roofs and sturdy exteriors, these unique structures stand proudly against the backdrop of Graciosa Bay. The photograph holds a historical significance as it captures the location where Spanish explorers, led by Mendana, attempted to establish a colony in 1597. It offers a glimpse into daily life during the 19th century on these remote Pacific islands. In this snapshot, we see several men standing outside one of these traditional huts. Their presence adds depth and context to our understanding of Micronesian culture at that time. The monochrome aesthetic lends an air of nostalgia and timeless beauty to this piece. As we admire this artwork by Henry Hutchinson Montgomery, we are reminded of South America's influence on Santa Cruz with its name shared by Bolivia's capital city. This print is not only an artistic representation but also serves as a valuable historical document preserved for generations to come.
