Utensils of the Inhabitants of the Caroline Islands, 19th Century: A Cultural Snapshot from a Pacific Voyage of Discovery This black and white lithograph, titled "Utensils of the Inhabitants of the Caroline Islands," is an intriguing glimpse into the daily life of the people of the Caroline Islands in the 19th century. Created by Alexander Postels and Godefroy Engelmann during the Russian circumnavigation expedition led by Captain Fedor Litke in the 1820s, this image is one of 65 lithographs that were included in the volume of maps published after the voyage. The scene showcases a group of assorted hand tools and implements used by the indigenous people of the Caroline Islands, located in the western Pacific Ocean. The utensils include fishing implements such as a fishing line, hooks, and an axe, which were essential for their survival in this island nation. The close-up view allows us to appreciate the intricate details of each tool, from the delicate carvings on the wooden handles to the intricate weaving of the fishing nets. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Pacific Islands and the meeting of frontiers between European exploration and indigenous traditions. The lithograph was produced by the renowned French publishing house, Frères Thierry, and was likely part of a larger ethnographic and anthropological study of the peoples encountered during the expedition. This historic art piece, now held in the Library of Congress, offers a unique window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the simple yet functional beauty of the tools used by the inhabitants of the Caroline Islands over a century ago.
