EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Canaque revolt in New Caledonia, 1878. The image showcases a collection of weapons used by Canaque warriors during this historic uprising against French colonial rule. Engraved in "Le Monde Illustre" nA'1113 on July 27,1878, this artwork provides a glimpse into an important chapter in history. The weapons displayed are both fascinating and powerful symbols of resistance. Spears, clubs, and other traditional armaments stand proudly as testaments to the determination and bravery of the Canaque people. Each weapon tells a story of defiance against oppression and serves as a reminder of their fight for freedom. As we explore this engraving from Stefano Bianchetti's private collection, we are transported to an era marked by anticolonialism and struggle for autonomy. The image not only captures the physicality of these weapons but also encapsulates the spirit behind them – a spirit that refused to be silenced. Through this historical lens, we gain insight into New Caledonia's complex past – its population dynamics, French colonization efforts, and ultimately the resilience of its indigenous people. This photograph invites us to reflect on themes such as power dynamics between colonizers and colonized populations while honoring those who fought for their rights. In preserving this piece from Bianchetti's collection without commercial intent or use mentioned here, we can appreciate it solely for its artistic value while acknowledging its historical significance within France's colonial
