EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Domestic Occupations of the Chamorro Women of Agana (Hagatna), Guam, 19th Century," offers a glimpse into the daily life of Chamorro women during this era. The photograph, which is actually a hand-colored copperplate engraving by Corsi after Jacques Etienne Victor Arago, depicts several women engaged in various domestic tasks. In the foreground, a woman is seen grilling food over an open flame, while another is preparing yams using a mortar and pestle. The rich, earthy tones of the yams and the smoky hues of the grilled food convey the warmth and nourishment these women provided for their families. To the right, a Chamorro woman uses a rolling pin to prepare dough for baking, while another woman peels and slices vegetables. The French artist, Arago, is depicted in the background, intently sketching one of the women as she goes about her work. This illustration, taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the Chamorro women in Guam during the 19th century. Their ability to sustain their families through their domestic labors is a testament to their strength and ingenuity, and this image offers a valuable window into their rich cultural heritage.
