EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Lettre O: Oceanien - Grand alphabet des nations" takes us back to the end of the 19th century, showcasing an engraving by the French School. Housed in a private collection, this artwork is part of an illustrious abecedary album that presents various writing patterns, syllabaries, and syllable sentences. The image transports us to the fascinating world of Oceanian civilization, where we encounter a warrior dressed in traditional attire. The intricate details captured in this engraving allow us to appreciate the rich folklore and ethnography of this culture. The man holds a lance and wears armor as symbols of his strength and bravery. As we delve deeper into the scene, we notice elements that highlight different aspects of Oceanian life. A sabre hangs from his side while he carries a shield for protection—a testament to their resourcefulness in both offense and defense. This portrayal also emphasizes their population's diversity and includes references to childhood education through an abecedary. Through Jean Duvallon's lens, we gain insight into this lesser-known corner of our global heritage. This photograph not only captures historical significance but also serves as a reminder of humanity's vast cultural tapestry—an invitation to explore and celebrate our shared history beyond borders or commercial interests.
