EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us on a journey back in time to the interior of a house in Coupang, Timor. The image is part of the renowned collection "Voyage Autour du Monde sur les Corvettes de L Uranie 1817-20" engraved by Lerouge and Forget, and published in 1825. In this snapshot of daily life, we witness a fascinating blend of cultures as a native Timorean family welcomes a curious visitor. The scene is filled with intriguing details - from the traditional dress known as tchonka worn by the locals to the presence of rifles hanging on the wall, symbolizing colonial influence. Amidst this cultural exchange, we see people engrossed in playing an ancient board game called mancala. It's evident that sharing meals plays an essential role here too, as everyone gathers around for dinner. The aroma wafting through the air hints at a delicious meal being enjoyed together. The image beautifully captures both curiosity and hospitality intertwined within this colonial setting. It serves as a reminder of how exploration can bring different worlds together while shedding light on diverse traditions and ways of life. Preserved within private collections like eTravellers Club, this historical photograph offers us an opportunity to reflect upon our shared human experiences across time and space. As we gaze upon it today, let us appreciate its artistic value while acknowledging its significance in documenting moments that shaped our collective history.
