EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph captures the scene of dedicated Chamorro farmers tending to their lands in the Mariana Islands during the early 19th century. The image, taken from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, showcases the rich agricultural traditions of this Pacific Island community. The Chamorro farmers are depicted in the foreground, expertly maneuvering their wooden plows through the rows of lush, green plants. Their traditional costumes, consisting of loincloths and headbands, are adorned with intricate patterns and colors, reflecting their unique cultural identity. The fertile soil of the Mariana Islands, known for its volcanic origin, is ideal for agriculture, and the Chamorro people have long relied on farming as a primary source of food and livelihood. The fields in the background are filled with various crops, including bananas, taro, and yams. This ethnographic image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Chamorro people during a time when their customs and traditions were still largely unchanged by outside influences. The meticulous attention to detail in the handcoloring of this lithograph further enhances the authenticity of the scene, making it a valuable historical record of the Chamorro farming community in the Mariana Islands.
