Celebes Indonesia Indonesian Loincloth Southeast Asia Manado North Sulawesi Traditional Costume
EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "A native of Manado, Celebes" takes us back to the 19th century in Indonesia. The image showcases a proud indigenous man from the North Sulawesi province, wearing traditional attire that reflects his cultural heritage. Standing confidently with a spear in hand, he exudes strength and resilience. The detailed illustration is part of El Mundo en la Mano or The World in Your Hands series published in 1878. It offers a glimpse into the diverse cultures and peoples encountered by European explorers during this era. This particular print beautifully captures the essence of Southeast Asian traditions through its depiction of intricate loincloth drapery and an ornate turban adorning the man's head. As we admire this historical artwork, it serves as a reminder of the rich tapestry woven by different civilizations across time. The artist skillfully brings to life not only an individual but also an entire community's way of life - their customs, clothing, and weaponry. Preserved within private collections today, prints like these allow us to appreciate our shared global history while celebrating unique regional identities. They offer windows into worlds long gone yet still resonate with their beauty and significance even after centuries have passed.
