EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1785 depicts a Native woman from the Sandwich Islands, now known as Hawaii. The intricate details of her traditional attire and jewelry showcase the rich cultural heritage of the indigenous people of the Pacific.
The image is a snapshot from Captain James Cook's third journey in 1785, highlighting his encounters with different cultures during his explorations. The woman's serene expression and graceful posture exude a sense of pride and resilience, despite the challenges faced by her community due to colonialism.
As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of the importance of preserving and honoring diverse traditions and identities. The woman in the engraving serves as a symbol of strength and beauty, representing generations of indigenous knowledge passed down through storytelling and art.
Through the lens of ethnography and anthropology, this print offers us a glimpse into a world that existed centuries ago yet continues to inspire curiosity and admiration today. Let us celebrate the enduring spirit of Native peoples around the world, acknowledging their contributions to our shared history and collective humanity.
