EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1922, capturing a glimpse of life in Kalimantan, Borneo. The image showcases a traditional long house, an architectural marvel that served as a communal living space for the native people of this region. The long house stands tall against the backdrop of lush greenery, its intricate design reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the indigenous tribe residing within. Inside, we can only imagine the stories and traditions shared by families who called this place home. The interior is filled with warmth and character; every corner holds secrets waiting to be discovered. Through this photograph, we are transported to a time when South East Asia was still relatively untouched by modernity. It offers us a rare glimpse into the lives of these tribespeople who lived harmoniously with nature and each other. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece from 1922, it serves as a reminder of our collective past and how far we have come as societies. It also encourages us to cherish diversity and preserve cultural heritage for future generations. Credit goes to J. A Hammerton for including this stunning illustration in his book "Peoples of All Nations". This print collector has allowed us to appreciate not just their artistic talent but also their dedication in documenting history through visual storytelling.
