Constance Gordon Cumming lived in Fiji in the years just after the islands became a British colony, travelling among villages and chiefs and painting what she saw. Her letters describe Fijian customs and folklore, the relics of cannibal feasts, and chiefs such as the Vuni Valu and Maafu, set against the islands’ troubled politics.
