EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph, titled "Filipino Malay in Scarlet Jacket with Wife in Striped Dress," is an exquisite example of ethnographic documentation from the Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, published by Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche in Meissen, Germany, between 1835 and 1840. The image showcases the traditional attire and customs of the Filipino Malay community, an indigenous group residing in the Philippines during that era. The Filipino Malay man is depicted wearing a vibrant scarlet jacket, adorned with intricate gold buttons and a matching hat, which is likely a traditional headdress or salakot. The man's expression conveys a sense of pride and dignity, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of his people. His wife, dressed in a stunning striped dress, complements her husband's attire with her own unique and colorful garment. The stripes on her dress are reminiscent of the batik patterns commonly used in Filipino textiles, showcasing the intricate and detailed craftsmanship of the region's textile industry. The couple's pose, with their hands gently touching, suggests a deep connection and mutual respect between them. This image not only provides a glimpse into the fashion and customs of the Filipino Malay community during the 19th century but also offers a window into their history and cultural traditions, making it an invaluable resource for anthropologists, historians, and anyone interested in the diverse and fascinating world of global ethnography.
