EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mauna Kea volcano, Hawaii, March 1859" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Captured by the British School in the 19th century, it showcases the aftermath of a volcanic eruption that occurred on January 23rd, 1859. The eruption originated from Mauna Loa, known as Big Island's most active volcano. The image portrays a breathtaking landscape with tents scattered across the mountainside. A flag flutters proudly against the backdrop of smoke rising from the volcano. It is evident that this scene belongs to an era of exploration and colonialism in Oceania. As we delve into this painting, we can imagine ourselves transported to that campsite amidst nature's fury and beauty simultaneously. The presence of a campfire suggests resilience and survival amid challenging circumstances. This artwork not only captures the grandeur of Mauna Kea but also serves as a reminder of Hawaii's rich geological history. The towering mountain stands tall against an azure sky while its slopes bear witness to both destruction and creation. Through this photograph print, we are invited to reflect upon our connection with nature and how humans have explored and interacted with these awe-inspiring landscapes throughout history. It is indeed a testament to mankind's enduring curiosity about our world and our desire for adventure beyond familiar horizons.
