EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Martinique creole woman, captured in the late 19th century by artist Henri Thiriat. The photograph, originally featured in Universal Geography, Maps & Illustrations, Vol XXXIV, Virtue & Co Limited (London, c1890), beautifully depicts the indigenous dress and headdress worn by this remarkable female figure. With her traditional costume and headscarf adorned with intricate details, she exudes elegance and grace. The image provides a fascinating glimpse into the ethnology and ethnography of Martinique during that era. Set against the backdrop of the Caribbean island's vibrant culture, this portrait captures not only the beauty of its people but also their rich heritage. The engraving highlights every delicate feature of her face while emphasizing her distinct headgear. Henri Thiriat's artistic talent shines through as he masterfully brings to life this local Martinique lady on paper. Through his lens or brush strokes, he immortalizes a moment frozen in time—a testament to both his skill as an artist and his appreciation for cultural diversity. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece from Heritage Images' collection curated by "The Print Collector" we are transported back to a different era—an age where tradition met modernity amidst breathtaking landscapes. This print serves as a reminder of our collective history and celebrates the resilience and beauty found within different cultures around the world.
