EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1871 depicts a fascinating scene of a family of savages living in Nymet Rowland, North Devon, England, engaging in conversation with a civilised visitor. The contrast between the two worlds is striking - on one side we see the primitive lifestyle of the savages, with their simple costumes and domestic scene around a fire pit, while on the other side stands the visitor representing modern civilisation.
The image captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing an alternative way of life that existed alongside Victorian society. Despite their differences, there seems to be an air of curiosity and mutual respect between the two groups as they engage in conversation.
The family appears happy and comfortable in their surroundings, cooking over an open flame with a large pot bubbling away. The visitor looks intrigued by this glimpse into a different world, perhaps pondering the complexities of human existence and societal norms.
This print serves as a reminder of our shared humanity and the diversity of lifestyles that have existed throughout history. It invites us to reflect on our own beliefs and values while appreciating the richness that comes from encountering different cultures and ways of life.
