EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the essence of cultural diversity and human variation in the 19th century. The print features Elau, a Papua-Malay girl from the cannibal island of Tikiene, alongside a man of Malakula, Vanuatu (Malicolo), both Polynesians with elevated foreheads. The handcoloured steel engraving by Lizars beautifully showcases the unique facial features and distinct characteristics of these individuals.
The illustration by Charles Hamilton Smith from his Natural History of the Human Species provides a glimpse into the ethnography and portrait of native populations in Oceania during this time period. The detailed depiction highlights not only their physical appearance but also their cultural heritage and identity.
As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of the rich tapestry of humanity that exists across different regions and communities. Each face tells a story, each expression conveys a sense of belonging to a particular group or tribe.
Through this print, we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and complexity of human diversity. It serves as a reminder that despite our differences, we are all part of one global family with shared experiences and connections that transcend borders and boundaries.
