EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intriguing "Portraits of two papous Karons, anthropophages" engraved by E. Mesples. The image is a powerful illustration from Achille Raffray's scientific mission to New Guinea in 1876-1877, published in the renowned "Tour du Monde" under Edouard Charton's direction in Paris, 1879. The photograph captures the essence of these native Papous Karons, known for their fearsome reputation as anthropophages or cannibals. Their fierce expressions and muscular physiques reveal a civilization deeply rooted in strength and resilience. One can't help but be drawn into their piercing gazes that seem to tell stories of survival amidst harsh environments. Intriguingly, this engraving also highlights the cultural significance of weaponry among these indigenous people. The presence of arrows held firmly in their hands symbolizes both protection and power within their community. As we admire this historical artwork from Leonard de Selva's private collection, it serves as a reminder of humanity's diverse tapestry across different regions and time periods. It prompts us to reflect on our own preconceived notions about other cultures while appreciating the rich heritage they bring forth. This print not only preserves an important moment from history but also invites us to delve deeper into understanding the complexities of Papua New Guinea's indigenous populations and their unique way of life.
