EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph takes us back in time to an Igorrote farm nestled in the picturesque landscape of Luzon, Philippines. Captured by Prof. Friedrich Ratzel in 1896, this image offers a glimpse into the rich history of mankind. The scene showcases traditional huts raised on stilts, a characteristic feature of the Igorrote community. These stilt houses not only provide protection from flooding but also symbolize their harmonious coexistence with nature. Set against a backdrop of rolling hills, it is evident that agriculture plays a vital role in their lives as they cultivate crops on these fertile lands. The composition exudes tranquility and simplicity as we witness the peacefulness that comes with living close to nature. The meticulous detailing captures every nuance of life on this farm - from the carefully constructed huts to the lush vegetation surrounding them. This lithograph serves as a window into an era long gone, reminding us of our shared human history and cultural diversity across different parts of the world. It invites us to appreciate the ingenuity and resilience displayed by communities like the Igorrotes who have thrived for centuries through sustainable farming practices. As we admire this print, let us reflect upon our own relationship with nature and how we can learn from these ancient communities' deep connection to their land.
