EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Hypogeum of Toupo in New Caledonia's Isle of Pines, captured after a pen and ink drawing by a deportee. The illustration was originally featured in the bulletin Les Missions Catholiques back in 1893, providing a glimpse into the mesmerizing beauty of this hidden gem. The image transports us to Nouvelle Caledonie, where we are immersed in an enchanting scene. Towering trees and lush vegetation surround the cavernous entrance to the hypogeum, creating an otherworldly atmosphere. The rocky terrain adds to its mystique, while lianas gracefully cascade down from above. New Caledonia's rich history as a French territory is evident here, with remnants of colonialism still visible. This island served as a penal colony during that time period, making it all the more intriguing to explore its underground wonders. As we gaze at this photo print, we can't help but marvel at the intricate details captured by the artist's pen strokes. Every line tells a story - one that speaks volumes about New Caledonia's unique blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage. This piece serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact; it invites us to delve into New Caledonia's past while appreciating its breathtaking landscapes. It reminds us that even within remote corners of our world lie hidden treasures waiting to be discovered and admired for generations to come.
