EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving depicts a brave Warrior of Ombai, hailing from the enchanting Ombai Island in Indonesia. The island, also known as Ombay, is located in the Pacific region of Asia and is renowned for its rich cultural heritage. The Warrior is dressed in intricately designed armour, meticulously crafted to protect him in battle. His shield, adorned with geometric patterns and vibrant colours, is held firmly in his left hand. In his right hand, he wields a formidable kris, a traditional dagger with a distinctive curved blade, symbolizing both power and status. His long, dark hair is tied up in an elegant plume, adding to his regal appearance. The Warrior's intense gaze and strong posture exude confidence and determination. This powerful image is a testament to the courage and resilience of the people of Ombai Island. The engraving is an exquisite reproduction of an original illustration by Jacques Arago, created for Frederic Shoberl's publication, "The World in Miniature: The Asiatic Islands and New Holland," published in London in 1824. Arago's masterful depiction of the Warrior and his surroundings provides a fascinating glimpse into the rich and diverse history of the Pacific region.
