About the Item
This hand-colored woodcut engraving titled "Tahiti — Pointe de Faré-Uté" is from "La France Illustrée" by V.-A. Malte-Brun. It depicts a scene at the Pointe de Faré-Uté in Tahiti, with the landscape and structures of this French Polynesian island vividly illustrated.
Visual Description:
- The central structure is a large colonial-style building, likely a French administrative or residential building, which showcases the typical architecture of the time with a multi-story design and a large veranda.
- The scene is framed by tropical palm trees and other lush vegetation, reflecting the tropical environment of Tahiti.
- In the background, ships are anchored in the harbor, indicating the island’s role in maritime trade and its importance as a colonial outpost.
- The engraving features several people walking in front of the building, adding a sense of daily life and activity.
- The distant coastline and islands can be seen on the horizon, enhancing the scenic beauty of the location.
Artistic Elements:
- The hand coloring is applied with care, using soft tones to highlight the building, trees, and ships, bringing the landscape to life.
- The detailed linework characteristic of woodcut engravings allows for intricate textures, especially in the building's architecture and the foliage.
Historical and Geographic Context:
- Pointe de Faré-Uté was likely a key location for French colonial administration in Tahiti during the late 19th century.
- This illustration is part of a broader depiction of French colonies in Oceania**, specifically showing Tahiti and its surrounding islands, including the nearby Tubuai archipelago mentioned in the text above the engraving.
- The inclusion of ships and port facilities suggests Tahiti’s strategic importance as a hub for naval and trade activity in the Pacific during French colonial rule.
