EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Corsi after Alphonse Pellion, depicts a traditional Corocoro boat from the island of Guebe in the Maluku Islands of Indonesia during the 19th century. The Corocoro boat, also known as the Korokoro boat, is a distinctive vessel used by the local communities for fishing and inter-island travel. In this image, the boat is adorned with both sails and oars, providing the necessary power to navigate the waters. The chief or king of Guebe is depicted sitting regally on the deck of the boat, overseeing the journey. A drummer stands nearby, beating time for the oarsmen to synchronize their strokes, creating a rhythmic cadence that propels the boat forward. In the distance, the island of Pisang can be seen, its verdant hills and white sandy beaches providing a picturesque backdrop to this scene of traditional maritime life. The intricate details of the boat's construction, the vibrant colors of the sails, and the dynamic energy of the oarsmen all come to life in this stunning illustration from Giulio Ferrario's Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World. This engraving offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Maluku Islands and the vibrant traditions that continue to thrive in this beautiful region of the world.
