EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph depicts a group of sailors diligently filling a small boat with barrels of water on the island of New Ireland, part of the Bismarck Archipelago in present-day Papua New Guinea. The image is taken from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, published in Meissen around 1835-1840. The sailors, dressed in their nautical attire, are shown working in unison to load the barrels into the boat, which appears to be moored near the shore. The natural beauty of the island is evident in the lush vegetation and clear blue waters surrounding the scene. New Ireland was a little-known destination for European explorers and traders during the 19th century, and this ethnographic image offers a glimpse into the daily life of its inhabitants. The use of handcoloring adds a vivid and authentic touch to the print, bringing the people and their customs to life. Anthropologists and historians have long been fascinated by the diverse cultures and traditions of the Pacific Islands, and this image is an important historical record of the sailors' interaction with the local population. The boat and barrels suggest the presence of European trade, but the focus of the image is on the people and their customs, rather than any commercial exchange. Overall, this beautiful and intriguing lithograph offers a unique window into the past, providing a fascinating insight into the lives of the sailors and the people of New Ireland during a time of exploration and discovery.
