EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the House of the Ancients on the enchanting Island of Tinian, captured between 1820 and 1839 by artist G Bramati. Plate 31 from Jules Ferrario's renowned work, Le Costume Ancien et Moderne, offers a glimpse into the distinctive stone structures known as latte stones that were built by the ancient Chamorro people on the Mariana Islands. The latte stones served a crucial purpose in supporting important structures within villages. Although their construction is believed to have commenced in the 9th century AD, these remarkable architectural wonders ceased being built by the time Europeans discovered these islands in the 16th century. In this lithograph, we witness a male figure standing near one of these mysterious latte stones against a backdrop of majestic mountains and lush palm trees. The vibrant colors add depth to this historical scene, transporting us back to Micronesia's rich past. This image not only serves as an archaeological site but also highlights elements of geography and nature intertwined with human history. It is part of Guy Bramati's contribution to Jules Ferrario's Historica Graphica Collection—an invaluable resource for those interested in exploring our world's diverse heritage.
