EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Old Women making Pottery, British New Guinea" transports us back to the early 20th century and offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of this remote region. The image showcases a group of elderly women engaged in the age-old craft of pottery-making. The vibrant colors captured through the lithographic process bring life to their surroundings, emphasizing the intricate details of their traditional attire and weathered faces. Their skilled hands delicately shape clay vessels with precision and expertise that have been passed down through generations. This artwork is part of a private collection and was originally featured as an illustration in "The Savage South Seas" by E Way Elkington, published in 1907.
