EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to a native village on Humboldt Bay, Papua, New Guinea, during the 1800s. The hand-colored woodcut beautifully captures the essence of this historic era. In this image, we see a picturesque scene of traditional life unfolding. The village is nestled along the water's edge, showcasing its close connection to the Pacific Ocean. Stilted huts with thatched roofs dot the landscape, providing shelter for families who call this place home. Men and women engage in various activities; some are fishing from outrigger canoes while others are tending to their homes or engaging in archery practice. Children play amidst this vibrant community as they learn about their heritage and embrace their cultural traditions. The presence of a warrior armed with a bow and arrow reminds us of the strength and resilience found within these indigenous communities. This photograph offers a glimpse into an era when Papua New Guinea was under British colonial rule but still retained its unique identity as part of the Malay Archipelago. It serves as a testament to both the rich history and natural beauty that define this region. As we admire this vintage artwork, let it transport us back in time and remind us of our shared human experience across different cultures and generations.
