EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1922 in New Guinea, where we are introduced to a formidable figure - the Captain of a company of cannibal fighting men. The image is an illustration from the renowned book "Peoples of All Nations, Their Life Today and the Story of Their Past" edited by J A Hammerton. Dressed in traditional costume, this warrior exudes strength and power. His body decoration showcases intricate designs that reflect his cultural heritage. Adorned with jewelry made from shells and teeth, he embodies both elegance and fierceness. The captain's headdress commands attention as it crowns his head with feathers or other materials symbolic of his status within his community. With a stern expression on his face, one can only imagine the tales of war and bravery that lie behind those eyes. New Guinea's rich ethnography comes alive through this portrait. It offers us a glimpse into a time when ancient customs still held sway over daily life. This photograph serves as a reminder of our collective human history and the diverse cultures that have shaped our world. As we contemplate this remarkable image captured almost a century ago, we are reminded once again how photography has preserved moments frozen in time for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
