EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the essence of a young Samoan woman named Suenga in 1902. With her serene expression and traditional headdress, she exudes grace and beauty. The photograph is part of "The Living Races of Mankind" collection, which aimed to document various ethnicities from around the world. Suenga sits elegantly, showcasing her Polynesian heritage through her intricate costume and jewelry. Her necklace adds a touch of glamour to her otherwise simple attire, emphasizing the importance of adornment in Samoan culture. The image transports us back to a time when Pacific islands like Samoa were still relatively untouched by modern influences. It offers a glimpse into the lives and traditions of these indigenous communities during the early 20th century. As we admire this stunning print, we are reminded that photographs have the power to preserve history and celebrate diversity. Suenga's portrait serves as an important reminder of our shared humanity across different cultures and continents. This print by Thomas Andrew allows us to appreciate not only Suenga's physical beauty but also her cultural identity. It invites us to reflect on our own understanding of ethnicity, tradition, and what it means to be connected with one's roots.
