EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a traditional circular house perched on the roof of a considerable elevation in New Caledonia during Captain James Cook's second voyage from 1772 to 1775. The illustration, taken from "The Great Mariners of the 18th century" by Jules Verne, showcases the rich ethnography and unique civilization found in this remote region. The image provides a glimpse into the exploration journey undertaken by Cook and his crew as they encountered native populations in Oceania. The homemade structure reflects the deep-rooted traditions and cultural practices of the inhabitants, showcasing their ingenuity and resourcefulness. With its intricate engravings, this French artwork offers valuable insights into anthropology and serves as an important historical document. It highlights both British exploration efforts during that time period as well as France's interest in understanding distant lands. As we admire this piece, we are transported back to a time when discovery was at its peak. Through this print, we can appreciate not only Cook's remarkable achievements but also Jules Verne's dedication to documenting great voyages throughout history. This image is part of Stefano Bianchetti's private collection, reminding us of our shared human heritage across different cultures and continents.
