EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of communal dining on the shore of Papua New Guinea, in the year 1911. The image showcases the native inhabitants of the Kwato region, as they gather around a large, communal dish, sharing a meal and engaging in conversation. The setting sun casts a warm, golden glow over the scene, reflecting off the shimmering waters and adding to the serene atmosphere. The natives, dressed in traditional attire, are seen seated on the sand, with their hands reaching out to scoop up portions of food from the communal dish. The meal appears to be a hearty one, with various ingredients, likely sourced from the local environment, including fish, vegetables, and possibly fruits. In the foreground, a man is seen pouring a drink from a large, gourd-like container into a bowl, indicating that the meal is being accompanied by a traditional beverage. The scene is one of unity and togetherness, as the community comes together to break their fast and share in the bounties of their land. The photograph offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the people of Papua New Guinea, and serves as a reminder of the simple pleasures and joys of communal dining. The image also speaks to the natural beauty of the region, with the lush greenery and clear waters providing a stunning backdrop to the scene. The photograph was taken over a century ago, yet it continues to resonate with viewers today, offering a window into the past and a reminder of the enduring power of community and tradition.
