EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning handcoloured stipple engraving captures the essence of a Native man from Easter Island or Rapa Nui, as depicted in Frederic Shoberl's The World in Miniature. The intricate details of his tattooed skin and traditional costume are brought to life by the skilled hands of the artist Louis Choris, who illustrated this piece for Otto von Kotzebue's Picturesque voyage around the world in 1822.
The image transports us to a time when these indigenous people roamed freely on their remote island in the Pacific Ocean, showcasing their unique culture and traditions. The man's cloak and tribal markings speak volumes about his heritage and identity, giving us a glimpse into a world that is both mysterious and captivating.
As we admire this beautiful engraving, we can't help but feel a sense of awe at the resilience and strength of these ancient peoples. Their connection to nature and their deep-rooted customs are evident in every line and shade of color on this print.
Thanks to Florilegius for preserving this important piece of history, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of Native cultures from around the world. This artwork serves as a reminder of our shared humanity and the importance of honoring diversity in all its forms.
