EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a warrior from Solor Island, located in the Lesser Sunda Islands of Indonesia. The image, captured by the Belgian School in the 19th century, portrays a fierce and proud fighter adorned in traditional war dress. His attire is embellished with tall plant fronds, adding an element of natural beauty to his formidable presence. The warrior wears a coat decorated with cowrie shells, symbolizing wealth and status within his community. A sash belt cinches his waist while he confidently holds a shield and sword, ready for battle. This handcoloured woodcut engraving was featured in Auguste Wahlens' book "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples du Monde" (Manners, Customs and Costumes of all the People of the World), published in Brussels in 1845. The image offers us a glimpse into Indonesian culture and history as we witness this brave individual embodying strength and courage. It serves as a reminder of the rich diversity found within Asia's South East region. With its vibrant colors and intricate details meticulously captured by Florilegius for Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this print allows us to appreciate not only the artistry behind it but also gain insight into different customs and traditions around the world.
