EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Cromlech at Tonga-Taboo, One of the Friendly Islands" takes us on a journey to the Pacific islands in the 19th century. The image showcases a megalithic structure known as a cromlech, standing proudly against the backdrop of Tonga Taboo. The artist from the English School beautifully captures the mysterious allure of this ancient monument. Its weathered stones and intricate design hint at an intriguing history that has long fascinated explorers and historians alike. This engraving was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on March 10,1860. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to a time when these remote islands were still relatively unknown to much of the world. The Friendly Islands, as they were aptly named by Captain James Cook during his voyages in the late 18th century, hold an air of enchantment and discovery. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Tonga Taboo and its surrounding islands. It serves as a reminder that even in far-flung corners of our planet, there exist hidden treasures waiting to be explored and understood. This remarkable engraving is part of Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection – an invaluable resource for art enthusiasts seeking to delve into historical masterpieces like this one.
