EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches from Borneo" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the rich maritime history of this exotic land. The engraving, created by an English School artist, showcases a collection of sketches that were originally published in The Illustrated London News on November 10,1849. The image transports us to the coastal regions of Borneo, where ships sail along its shores and pirates lurk in the shadows. We witness scenes of night engagements and encounter natives adorned in traditional dress such as Kayan war attire and tattooed Dyaks of Kenowit with their pendulous ear lobes. Among these intriguing figures is also depicted the daughter of the Chief of Kenowit. As we explore this visual narrative further, we are reminded that Borneo's allure extends beyond its native inhabitants. European influences are evident through German characters like Tamah and Banting Marron who have ventured into this distant land. The coastline serves as a backdrop for these encounters between different cultures - a meeting point where East meets West. It is here that we observe not only the beauty of nature but also witness how human interactions shape coastal features. Through this remarkable artwork preserved in private collections, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand the diversity and richness found within Borneo's shores.
