EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a historical moment featuring King George of Tonga, the Office of the Fiji Times in Levuka, Fiji Islands, and Princess Anaziene, granddaughter of Prince George of Tonga. The image captures the essence of 19th-century royalty and journalism. On the left side stands King George of Tonga, exuding regal authority with his dignified presence. His lineage can be traced back to George Tupou I, who was crowned as King of Tonga in 1845. Baptized as Siaosi Jiaoji Tubou Giniginiofolaga Maeakafaua Ngininginiofolanga Tupou, he earned himself various nicknames throughout his life including Lopa Ukamea and Lopa Okinaaione. In the center is the iconic Office of the Fiji Times in Levuka. This engraving depicts a bustling hub where news stories were crafted and disseminated during that era. It serves as a testament to both journalistic integrity and cultural exchange within this vibrant island nation. Completing this remarkable composition is Princess Anaziene on the right side. As granddaughter to Prince George of Tonga, she adds an element of grace and elegance to this historic tableau. The vintage aesthetic created by this engraved image transports us back to a time when artistry met storytelling through illustrative techniques unique to that period. With its retro style reminiscent of Victorian arts and culture, it offers us a glimpse into history while celebrating artistic craftsmanship
