EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Occupations of the Agagna people, Mariana Islands" takes us on a visual journey to the vibrant world of the Mariana Islands in the early 19th century. Plate 29 from Jules Ferrario's renowned work, Le Costume Ancien et Moderne, published around the 1820s-30s, offers a glimpse into the daily life and occupations of this indigenous tribe. The image showcases a female member of the Agagna people engaged in making dough, skillfully rolling it with her hands. Her concentration is evident as she prepares food for her community. In the background stands a wooden stilt house with thatched roofing, characteristic of their traditional architecture. Meanwhile, a male figure can be seen walking on stilts nearby. This intriguing sight hints at unique cultural practices or perhaps even playful entertainment within this tribal society. The exploration and travels by European explorers are also depicted through an illustration from Louis Freycinet's Voyage autour du Monde 1817-20. Through Felice Campi's color lithography technique employed in this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness not only an occupation but also gain insight into West Pacific Oceanic culture during that era. This remarkable piece captures both historical significance and artistic beauty while shedding light on lesser-known aspects of human civilization.
