EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored copperplate engraving, created by Sasso from Giulio Ferrario's "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World," published in Florence, Italy in 1844, offers a glimpse into the traditional attire and daily life of the indigenous Kanak people of New Caledonia. In the foreground, a powerful Kanak warrior stands proudly, clad only in a loincloth, wielding both a spear and a mace. His muscular physique and fierce expression convey the strength and resilience of this ancient culture. Beside him, a graceful woman adorned in a vibrant grass skirt and intricate necklaces cradles a young child. Her gentle demeanor and nurturing presence serve as a poignant reminder of the importance of family and community in Kanak society. In the background, several thatched huts dot the landscape, signifying the communal living arrangements typical of traditional Kanak villages. The intricate detail and lifelike quality of this engraving are a testament to the skill and artistry of the Italian engraver, Sasso, and the dedication of Giulio Ferrario to documenting the diverse costumes and customs of the world's peoples. This image offers a unique window into the rich cultural heritage of the Kanak people of New Caledonia, providing a valuable record of their history and traditions for generations to come.
