EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "F. 26 A Man of Prince Williams Sound, c. 1773-84" by John Webber offers a glimpse into the indigenous culture of Prince William Sound in the late 18th century. The watercolor painting measures 40x66 cm and is housed in the Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales. The portrait showcases a proud and stoic native man, his face adorned with intricate face paint that highlights his heritage and identity. He wears a conical hat and a cape or mantle draped over his shoulders, adding to the sense of regality emanating from him. Notable features include a piercing on his nose and an impressive moustache that adds character to his visage. These details provide insight into the cultural practices and aesthetics valued by this community at the time. Prince William Sound itself is located in the Gulf of Alaska, making this artwork not only visually striking but also historically significant as it documents Captain Cook's last voyage. This print serves as both an artistic representation and historical record, preserving the image of this indigenous man for future generations to appreciate and learn from. It provides viewers with an opportunity to reflect on our shared human history while celebrating diversity and cultural richness.
