EDITORS COMMENTS
A Nocturnal 'Pilou-Pilou' - New Caledonia, 1875: A captivating glimpse into the nighttime rituals of the indigenous Kanak people of New Caledonia, as depicted in this 19th-century photograph from Henry Walter Bates' "Some Account of New Caledonia." The title 'Pilou-Pilou' refers to a ceremonial dance that was an essential part of Kanak tribal culture. The image captures a group of Kanak men and women, dressed in traditional attire, gathered around a fire in the heart of the New Caledonian forest. The women, adorned with intricate body paint and flowers, are shown in the act of gathering offerings for the dance, while the men, wearing feathers and shells, prepare for their performance. The scene is bathed in the soft glow of the firelight, creating an ethereal and mysterious atmosphere. This photograph offers a unique insight into the rich and vibrant tribal traditions of New Caledonia, a Melanesian island in the Pacific Ocean, during the late 1800s. The photograph is believed to have been published in "Illustrated Travels" by H.W. Bates, published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London around 1880.
