EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Tahitian girl from Pitcairn Island, located in the enchanting South Pacific Ocean. The image, captured by Doms during the 18th-19th century, offers a glimpse into the life of one of the Tahitian women brought to the island by English mutineers from HMS Bounty. The young girl is adorned in traditional attire, wearing a vibrant blue shawl and a cheerful yellow skirt. Her hair is beautifully adorned with a garland of flowers, adding an element of natural elegance to her appearance. This handcoloured woodcut by Doms was featured in Auguste Wahlens' renowned publication "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples du Monde" (Manners, Customs and Costumes of all the People of the World) in Brussels back in 1845. The image transports us back to an era when exploration and discovery were at their peak. It serves as a testament to both cultural diversity and historical significance. As we admire this striking portrayal, we are reminded not only of the beauty found within different tribes and nations but also how fashion can reflect lifestyle and identity. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece as part of their Fine Art Finder collection for art enthusiasts around the world to appreciate its rich historical context. Through this photograph print, we are transported on an imaginative journey through time and space – immersing ourselves in Polynesian culture while marveling at its enduring allure.
