EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored steel engraving depicts a man and woman from the extinct Guanche people of Bioko Island, also known as Fernando Po, off the coast of Central Africa. The Guanche were the original inhabitants of the island before it was colonized by European powers in the late 19th century. The man, referred to as a "Cutthroat" man, is shown wearing a loincloth and adorned with various body markings and jewelry. His hair is styled in long, braided locks, and he holds a spear in one hand and a shield in the other. The woman, equally adorned, wears a necklace and bracelets, and carries a basket on her head. Her expression is serene, while the man's is more intense and focused. This image is based on drawings by Captain Filmore and an illustration by Charles Hamilton Smith, created for Smith's Natural History of the Human Species, published in Edinburgh by W. H. Lizars in 1848. The meticulous attention to detail in the engraving allows us to gain a glimpse into the appearance and culture of the Guanche people, who are now lost to history. The Guanche people were a distinct racial group with unique physical characteristics, including dark skin, curly hair, and distinctive facial features. Their extinction is believed to have been caused by a combination of factors, including disease, intermarriage with European colonizers, and the forced labor and displacement that accompanied the colonization of the island. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the rich cultural diversity that has existed throughout history and the importance of preserving the memories and histories of indigenous peoples.
