EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases Ida Pfeiffer, an exciting and talented Austrian pianist and musician from the 19th century. Known for her love of travel and exploration, Pfeiffer's fascination with different cultures is beautifully depicted in this print. She is shown playing a musical instrument while surrounded by an audience of Polynesian locals, including Queen Pomare IV of Tahiti. Pfeiffer's adventurous spirit led her on numerous voyages across Europe and beyond, where she delighted audiences with her piano performances. Her enjoyment in playing music is evident in the dramatic scene captured here, as she captivates the Polynesian crowd with her talent. This engraving not only highlights Pfeiffer's musical prowess but also serves as a testament to her curiosity about the world. It symbolizes the excitement and entertainment that accompanied her travels, as well as the admiration she received from both royalty and commoners alike. As an Austrian traveller exploring distant lands during a time when such journeys were rare for women, Ida Pfeiffer became a trailblazer. Her adventures brought together different cultures through music and fostered understanding between nations. This print reminds us of Pfeiffer's remarkable journeyings and serves as a tribute to her legacy as both a musician and explorer. The image transports us back to an era filled with wonderment, discovery, and the universal language of music.
