EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to a Tagal village nestled amidst the picturesque mountains of Luzon, Philippines. The image is extracted from "The History of Mankind, Vol. 1" by Prof. Friedrich Ratzel, published in 1896. In this enchanting scene, we witness the harmonious coexistence between nature and human civilization. The village is composed of traditional huts built on stilts that seem to defy gravity as they stand tall against the backdrop of lush greenery. These architectural marvels reflect the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the villagers who have adapted their dwellings to withstand both natural elements and potential threats. The sense of community is palpable as villagers go about their daily activities within this tranquil setting. One can imagine children playing together while adults engage in conversations or carry out various tasks essential for survival. This engraving beautifully captures a moment frozen in time - a snapshot into an era long gone but not forgotten. It serves as a reminder of our shared history and heritage, showcasing the rich cultural tapestry woven by communities like these across the Pacific region. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, it sparks curiosity about how life would have unfolded within those humble huts perched atop stilts; what stories were whispered among its inhabitants? This photograph invites us to explore further into humanity's past while appreciating the beauty found within simplicity itself.
