EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches in the Island of Formosa" takes us back to a time when Taiwan, then known as Formosa, was a land filled with mystery and wonder. The engraving, created by Amedee Forestier in 1890 for The Illustrated London News, offers a glimpse into the lives of the aboriginal tribes residing on this enchanting island. In this scene, we witness an extraordinary sight as the tribal people return from their expedition. They are met with great festivities and celebrations upon their arrival. The sketches depict a vibrant display of savage entertainment and quaint performances that showcase the rich cultural heritage of these indigenous communities. At the center of it all stands a formidable savage chief, exuding strength and wisdom. His presence commands attention as he oversees his people's triumphant return. It is evident that reinforcements have been brought back to ensure their tribe's safety and prosperity. The image captures not only the physical beauty of Taiwan but also highlights its diverse population and traditions. Through Forestier's artistry, we are transported to an era where ancient customs were still deeply rooted in everyday life. This print serves as both a historical record and an artistic masterpiece that reminds us of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
