EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a scene from the island of Guam in the Mariana Archipelago, USA, showcasing the Monastery of Agagna and its surroundings. In this detailed illustration from Louis de Freycinet's "Voyage Around the World" (1824), we see Spanish settlers being carried on carriers with umbrellas, while natives are depicted carrying game and a pig. The contrast between the colonial presence and the indigenous way of life is striking in this image, highlighting the impact of European colonization on native cultures. The lush landscape of Guam serves as a backdrop to this scene, adding to the exotic allure of this remote Pacific island. Created by Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche for his book "Galerie complete en tableaux fideles des peuples d'Amerique et d'Australie," this hand-colored lithograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era when exploration and discovery were at their peak. The attention to detail in depicting both the architecture of the monastery and the daily activities of its inhabitants makes this print a valuable historical document. Overall, this print not only showcases an important landmark on Guam but also provides insight into the complex interactions between different cultures during that period. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and encourages us to reflect on how far we have come since then.
