EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken in 1902 by artist Thomas Andrew, showcases the beauty of a Samoan belle adorned with unique necklaces made from teeth and shells. The image is part of "The Living Races of Mankind" collection, published by Hutchinson & Co in London. In this portrait, we see a woman from Samoa proudly displaying her cultural heritage through her traditional costume and jewelry. Her intricate necklace crafted from teeth and shells reflects the rich traditions of Polynesia, highlighting the significance of aquatic life to their culture. The photograph captures the essence of early 20th-century Pacific Islands' fashion and ethnicity. The monochrome effect adds depth to the image, emphasizing both its historical value and artistic appeal. Through this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when nudity was not seen as taboo but rather celebrated as an expression of cultural identity. This Samoan lady exudes confidence as she stands before us with grace and poise. As we admire this remarkable piece from The Print Collector's collection curated by Thomas Andrew himself, let us appreciate its ethnographic significance while respecting its non-commercial use. It serves as a testament to the diversity that exists within our world's cultures and reminds us to cherish our shared humanity across different races and locations.
