EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cultural heritage - the Marshall Islands stick chart from Micronesia, dating back to around 1920. Crafted by an anonymous master, this cartographic masterpiece is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the Marshallese people. Using coconut leaf veins intricately woven together, this fine art object served as a navigation map for seafarers in the region. The delicate craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every curve and line, allowing sailors to interpret ocean swells, currents, and wave patterns with astonishing accuracy. Housed within the prestigious Musée du Quai Branly in Paris, this stick chart represents not only a vital tool for survival but also an artistic expression of indigenous knowledge. It serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness with nature and how ancient civilizations harnessed their environment's resources to navigate vast oceans. The photograph captures the essence of this unique object – its rich history preserved through time. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back to an era when these charts guided brave sailors across treacherous waters towards distant lands. This image is presented solely for educational purposes and appreciation of human creativity; it should not be used commercially or without proper attribution.
