EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in Hawaiian history, showcasing the traditional games of the island's inhabitants. Taken at the precipice of Mokapuu on the beautiful island of Oahu, this engraving after Emile Bayard's drawing transports us back to a time when leisure activities were simple yet exhilarating. In this scene, we witness the locals indulging in their favorite pastime: surfing. With hazy skies above them, these skilled surfers effortlessly ride the waves with grace and precision. Their casual demeanor reflects a deep-rooted tradition that has been passed down through generations. The image is an engraving from C. de Varigny's work published in "Le tour du monde" in 1873, edited by Edouard Charton. It offers us a glimpse into life on the Sandwich Islands during 1855-1869 when surfing was not just a sport but also an integral part of Hawaiian culture. Leonard de Selva beautifully captures this historical moment with his lens, allowing us to appreciate both the skill and joy displayed by these surfers. The print belongs to Selva Collection and serves as a reminder of how ancient traditions can still captivate our hearts today. As we admire this stunning piece of artistry, let it transport us to those shores where games were played with passion and connection to nature – reminding us that sometimes all we need is a board beneath our feet and waves crashing around us for pure blissful enjoyment.
