EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Formosan people and costumes, 1895" takes us back to the enchanting continent of Asia in the late 19th century. The image showcases a group portrait of Formosan men, armed with an array of weaponry including guns, rifles, bows and arrows. Each man exudes strength and determination as they direct their gaze towards the camera. The artist behind this remarkable piece is A Bertrand, who skillfully captures the essence of these Taiwanese individuals through intricate engraving techniques. Published in "The Universal Geography with Illustrations and Maps" by Elisee Reclus and published by Virtue & Co. Limited in London in 1895, this print offers a glimpse into a time when warfare was prevalent. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to the composition while emphasizing the seriousness of their armed presence. It serves as a testament to both their resilience and adaptability within their country's historical context. As we observe this photograph today, it not only provides insight into Formosa's rich cultural heritage but also prompts contemplation on how societies evolve over time. This print allows us to appreciate the artistry involved in capturing such moments from history while reminding us of our shared human experiences across different continents and eras.
