EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1875, providing a glimpse into the world of Southeast Asia during that time. The subject of this portrait is believed to be Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono VI, the esteemed sixth sultan of Yogyakarta in Java, Indonesia. The Sultan's regal presence is undeniable as he stands tall and proud, donning traditional Javanese attire. His coat exudes an air of authority and elegance with its intricate patterns and rich fabric. Paired with a skirt that flows gracefully around his legs, his clothing reflects the cultural heritage of his land. The photographer, A. M. Cameron, skillfully captures not only the Sultan's physical appearance but also hints at his occupation and status within society. As we gaze upon this image from over a century ago, we are transported to a time when royalty reigned supreme in Java. This remarkable photograph was originally featured in "Illustrated Travels" by H. W. Bates - a publication by Cassell Petter Galpin Company based in London during the late 19th century. It serves as a testament to both the artistic talent of A. M. Cameron and our enduring fascination with history. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate how it allows us to connect with another era while celebrating the beauty and diversity found across continents like Asia.
