EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Chamorro woman from the island of Guam in the Mariana Islands, Micronesia. The image, captured by Jacques Etienne Victor Arago and handcolored by A. Vangauberghe, offers a glimpse into the life and culture of this indigenous community. The woman depicted is Josephe Cortez, daughter of the Alcalde (Mayor) of Umati. She exudes strength and grace as she stands confidently adorned in traditional attire - a cross around her neck, a chemise and petticoat - while elegantly smoking a cigar. Her fashion choices reflect both her cultural heritage and personal style. Arago's illustration was originally featured in Freycinets voyage, an exploration that aimed to document various cultures across the globe. This woodcut engraving beautifully captures not only Josephe's physical appearance but also provides insight into Chamorro customs and traditions. Through this image, we are transported to another time and place - to an island where vibrant Pacific lifestyles thrive amidst breathtaking landscapes. It serves as a reminder of the rich diversity found within our world's many nations and tribes. As we admire this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's collection, let us appreciate its historical significance while celebrating the beauty of different races, customs, and people across Oceania.
