The Mariana Islands, a captivating archipelago in Micronesia, hold a rich history and breathtaking beauty. Stepping back in time to 1898, an American cartoon humorously portrays the new faces at Thanksgiving dinner following the conclusion of the Spanish-American War. This event marked a significant turning point for these islands as they became U. S. Territorial acquisitions. Topographic maps from 1897 provide us with a glimpse into the former German colonies that once existed here. The lithograph showcases their intricate landscapes and geographical features, revealing the diverse terrain of this Pacific paradise. Engravings capture mesmerizing views of both the Mariana Islands and Northwestern Saipan's stunning coastlines. These images transport us to another era when nature's wonders were immortalized through art. On Guam Island, natives diligently work in the garden of the Governor's Palace—a testament to their deep connection with nature and sustainable practices that have been passed down through generations. The House of Ancients on Tinian Island stands as an architectural marvel from c1820-1839. Plates 31 and 32a & b depict its grandeur, showcasing intricate details that reflect ancient Chamorro culture. An engraving captures litter found across the Mariana Islands—an unfortunate reminder of human impact on this pristine environment. It serves as a call to action for preserving these natural treasures for future generations. A portrait introduces us to a Chamorro woman from Guam—the embodiment of grace and resilience within Micronesia's cultural tapestry. Her traditional attire reflects centuries-old traditions still cherished today. Traveling further back in time, we explore occupations among Agagna people during c1820-1839—providing insight into their way of life before colonial influences reshaped their society. G Bramati's artwork transports us again to Tinian Island during this period, where we witness yet another masterpiece—the House of Ancients—standing tall amidst lush surroundings; it serves as a testament to the island's rich heritage.
