This handcolored lithograph depicts a group of French explorers examining ancient Chamorro stone structures on the island of Rota, in the Mariana Islands, circa 1835-1840. The image is taken from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, published by Meissen. The French explorers are seen in the foreground, dressed in their expedition attire, with hats, coats, and trousers. They are intently studying the intricate stone structures, which were built by the indigenous Chamorro people. The ruins, which are adorned with intricate carvings and designs, are a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Chamorro people. The background of the image shows lush vegetation and the clear blue waters of the Pacific Ocean. The island of Guam, which is located nearby, can be seen in the distance. The Chamorro people, who are known for their warm hospitality and rich cultural traditions, are depicted in their traditional attire, including loincloths, shell necklaces, and headbands. This image provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering insights into the lives of the French explorers and the ancient Chamorro people. It is a valuable resource for scholars of ethnography, anthropology, and history, providing a visual record of the customs, costumes, and traditions of the Chamorro people and the early European exploration of the Pacific Islands. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this handcolored lithograph make it a stunning addition to any collection of historical prints or ethnographic art.
