EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1900 takes us back in time to the indigenous village of Karapuna in Papua New Guinea. The image, featured in the book "Autour du Monde - Fascicule XLI" by L. Boulanger, Paris, offers a glimpse into the lives of the local community during that era. In this snapshot, we see a group of villagers gathered outside their traditional stilt houses with thatched roofs. The architecture is unique and showcases their ingenuity in adapting to their natural surroundings. Men, women, and children are present, each wearing distinct attire that reflects their cultural heritage. The composition captures a sense of unity within the community as they stand together against the backdrop of lush greenery. The expressions on their faces reveal pride and resilience despite living far away from modern civilization. This photograph not only serves as a visual documentation but also evokes curiosity about life in this remote part of Papua New Guinea at the turn of the 20th century. It reminds us of our shared humanity and diverse cultures across different corners of the world. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, it invites us to appreciate and respect indigenous communities' rich traditions while acknowledging how much has changed over time.
