EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century on Guam Island, Micronesia. The image showcases an unknown artist's depiction of the laborious process of pilling and planting rice, a vital agricultural practice in this region. Intriguingly, we witness a scene that highlights both human effort and technological advancement. A group of farmers can be seen diligently working together, utilizing traditional farming techniques alongside innovative machinery. The plows attached to farm vehicles are being skillfully maneuvered through the fertile soil by these hardworking individuals. The composition beautifully captures the essence of Oceania's rich agricultural heritage. It serves as a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of those who relied on rice cultivation for sustenance during this era. Leonard de Selva's expert photography brings this historical moment to life with stunning detail. His lens perfectly frames each element - from the coupling between vehicle and plow to the meticulous planting process itself. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time; witnessing not only a crucial aspect of agriculture but also gaining insight into the daily lives and customs of Micronesian communities in centuries past. This photograph is truly a treasure from our collective history, reminding us of our deep connection with nature and how it has shaped civilizations throughout time.
