British New Guinea Manner Wearing

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Native of British New Guinea, showing the manner of wearing the hair" transports us back to the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of this remote region. The color lithograph by Norman Hardy beautifully captures the intricate and unique hairstyle worn by a native individual from British New Guinea. The subject's hair is meticulously styled in an elaborate fashion that reflects their customs and traditions. Each strand seems to be carefully arranged, forming an ornate headdress that showcases their identity and social status within the community. This striking image provides valuable insight into the indigenous people's connection with nature and their deep-rooted beliefs. The illustration was originally featured in E Way Elkington's book "The Savage South Seas" published in 1907. It serves as a visual representation of Elkington's vivid descriptions, allowing readers to better understand and appreciate the diverse cultures found within British New Guinea during that era. Preserved in a private collection, this historical artifact reminds us of our shared human history and encourages us to explore different cultures with respect and curiosity. Through this photograph, we are reminded of how art can bridge gaps between time periods, providing us with invaluable knowledge about our past while igniting our imagination for what lies ahead.
