EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1818 showcases a man and woman from the Isle of Paques, also known as Easter Island. Dressed in traditional attire, they wear striking feather headdresses, cloaks, and skirts that reflect their rich cultural heritage. The man holds a cudgel, symbolizing strength and protection within their tribe. Handcoloured with meticulous detail, this copperplate engraving is part of Mary Anne Venning's educational book titled "A Geographical Present". Venning was an esteemed female author and tutor who specialized in geography during the early 19th century. Her work aimed to provide comprehensive descriptions of various countries around the world. The image offers us a glimpse into the lives of these indigenous people during the Regency era. It serves as a testament to their unique customs and traditions that have been passed down through generations. Through this photograph, we can appreciate the beauty of their folk costume and gain insight into their way of life.
