EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "A Malay family in its interior" offers a glimpse into the daily life of a Malaysian family in the late 19th century. The print, created by A. Sirouy and published in the tour du monde under the direction of Edouard Charton in 1880 Paris, beautifully captures the essence of Asian culture and habitat. In this scene, we see a warm and inviting interior where a Malay family gathers around a table for their meal. The parents sit on intricately designed chairs while their child stands beside them, adding an element of youthful energy to the composition. The furniture exudes elegance and craftsmanship, reflecting both functionality and aesthetic appeal. The image transports us back in time to witness not only the physical surroundings but also the intimate bond shared within this family unit. It serves as a reminder that despite cultural differences or geographical distances, families across generations have always cherished moments spent together. This remarkable engraving is part of Leonard de Selva's private collection, showcasing his passion for preserving historical artifacts that capture diverse cultures from around the world. As we admire this artwork today, it allows us to appreciate how much our global society has evolved while honoring traditions that continue to shape our identities.
