EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "St. Anthony never was tempted like. . " takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the work of an English School artist. The image is part of a series called "Ye Pilgrimage of ye Revnd. Simpleheart, Adventures of a naive missionary in the South Seas" specifically depicting a humorous journey to New Zealand. The scene captures an ambush encounter between colonial Europeans and indigenous Maori people in the Southern Hemisphere. Dressed in traditional attire, native women stand alongside their male counterparts as they confront the bewildered missionary. The pen and watercolor technique used by the artist adds depth and vibrancy to this historical illustration. This artwork raises questions about colonialism, contact between different cultures, and the impact on indigenous peoples during that era. It serves as a reminder that St. Anthony's temptations were nothing compared to what these communities faced when encountering European missionaries. As we admire this piece from Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection, it is essential not to overlook its significance or exploit it for commercial purposes. Instead, let us appreciate its artistic value while acknowledging its historical context and reflecting upon our shared past with respect for all cultures involved.
