EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving from Giulio Ferrario's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World" transports us to the Admiralty Islands in Papua New Guinea, where we witness natives fishing and sailing in traditional outrigger canoes. The intricate details captured by Sasso in 1844 bring to life the daily activities of these indigenous people as they skillfully navigate the waters with their shovels and sails.
The scene is filled with a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature, as the fishermen cast their nets into the shimmering sea while others expertly guide their vessels through gentle waves. The vibrant colors used to handcolour this print enhance its beauty, drawing our eyes to every intricate detail of the native attire and canoe design.
As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage of Papua New Guinea and its inhabitants who have long relied on fishing for sustenance. This image serves as a window into a world that may be unfamiliar to many, yet it captures universal themes of community, tradition, and connection to the natural world. It is a testament to both artistic skill and anthropological curiosity that continues to inspire viewers centuries after its creation.
