- Curator's comments
- The print shows various Kanak artefacts which were probably collected during the French voyage led by Bruni d'Entrecasteaux (1791-93). The majority of these collections are now lost but recent research has identified pieces in the Netherlands, France and Denmark. It also shows three views of the traditional Kanak hut, known as a 'case'.
