Discover the world through the lens of 19th century explorers Alexander Postels and Godefroy Engelmann as they document the lives of various indigenous communities. From the forests of Peel Island in the Bonin Islands, to the outskirts of Valparaiso in Chile, and the northeast coast of Asia with the Chukchis, their captivating images transport us to the Caroline Islands, where we find inhabitants adorned in traditional ornaments and playing musical instruments. Witness the interiors of their homes on Guam Island and Sitka Island, and gain a glimpse into the daily life of the Calochas people. Join Postels and Engelmann on their journey, capturing history one image at a time.
