EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "New Guinea (colour litho)", takes us on a visual journey back to the 19th century. The image showcases an intricate illustration of New Guinea's diverse landscape and its vibrant inhabitants. The artwork was originally created as an illustration for the book "Panorama of Nations or Journeys Among the Families of Men" by H G Cutler and L W Yaggy in 1892. It offers a glimpse into the world of exploration, shedding light on different races, ethnicities, and cultural practices. In this scene, we see a village nestled amidst lush greenery with huts that serve as homes for families belonging to various racial backgrounds. A river flows gracefully through the heart of this community, providing both sustenance and transportation in the form of canoes. While it is important to acknowledge that this artwork may perpetuate certain stereotypes prevalent during its time, it also serves as a valuable ethnographical record capturing moments from history that shaped our understanding of different peoples around the world. This print invites us to reflect upon our shared humanity while appreciating the rich diversity found within our global family. It reminds us that even though we may come from different backgrounds and live in distinct housing structures, there is beauty in embracing our differences and celebrating what unites us all - our common existence on this planet.
