EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, titled "Woman of Ambon, Maluku Islands, Indonesia (Amboyna)" is an exquisite ethnographic representation from Frederic Shoberl's seminal work, "The World in Miniature: The Asiatic Islands and New Holland," published in London in 1824 by R. Ackermann. The image showcases a woman from the Maluku Islands, specifically Ambon, in the Indonesian archipelago. She is depicted wearing a simple chemise, a long-sleeved, high-necked, and loose-fitting garment made of cotton. The intricate handcolouring brings the woman's features and traditional attire to life, revealing her dark, expressive eyes, full lips, and delicate features. The Maluku Islands, also known as the Moluccas or Spice Islands, have a rich and complex history, with their strategic location in the Pacific Ocean making them a valuable trading hub for spices such as nutmeg, cloves, and mace. This image offers a glimpse into the lives of the indigenous people who inhabited these islands long before European colonization. The meticulous detail in this engraving, with its fine lines and delicate shading, is a testament to the skill of the engraver and the high-quality production values of the time. The image is a valuable historical and ethnographic record, providing insights into the diverse cultures and peoples of the Pacific Asia and Australasia regions. This print is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of the Maluku Islands and the importance of preserving and celebrating the traditions and histories of indigenous peoples around the world.
