A genuine Semisi is good enough for the Duke!

The Duke and Duchess of Kent, during a Royal visit to Fiji in July, were presented with one of Semisi Maya's watercolours by Semisi him self. The artist made the pre sentation when the Royal :ouple visited St. Elizabeth Home, where Semisi now ives.

The watercolour was a sun jet scene, and both the Duke md Duchess accepted it with jenuine enthusiasm—admiring t for some time before leav ng the artist.

The last of Semisi's paint ngs for sale in Fiji was sold n Suva the same day—for !7/6, the old retail price. The etailers, Caines Limited, of /ictoria Parade, have been elling Semisi's work at this dw price for some years now, ut they do not know when hey will be able to get any lore.
