EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Sketches in New Guinea, Native Street in Kerepunu" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the vibrant tribal life of Papua New Guinea. The image showcases a bustling native street in Kerepunu, filled with intriguing dwellings that reflect the unique architectural style of the region. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are transported to a time when exploration and discovery were at their peak. The artist's attention to detail allows us to immerse ourselves in the scene; every stroke captures the essence of daily life within this indigenous community. The composition is teeming with activity - men and women going about their day, children playing amidst these traditional structures. It is evident that this street was not just a physical space but also served as a hub for social interaction and cultural exchange. Through this print, we gain insight into an era when Western eyes first encountered the rich tapestry of Papua New Guinean culture. It serves as a reminder of our shared humanity across different continents and centuries.
