EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history as Papua New Guinea tribesmen consult with the spirits before embarking on a proposed expedition. The year is 1890, and the men are deeply immersed in their customs and traditions, seeking guidance from the spiritual realm for their journey ahead.
The image provides a rare glimpse into the ancient practices of these indigenous people, showcasing their deep connection to the natural world and belief in the power of spirits. The intensity on their faces reflects the importance they place on this consultation, knowing that it could determine the success or failure of their upcoming expedition.

The intricate details captured in this photograph speak volumes about their way of life and offer us a window into a world that is both mysterious and enchanting.
