EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a chilling scene from the sacred marae (Morai) or cemetery in Tahiti. The image portrays a haunting ritual, where human sacrifice takes place amidst an eerie atmosphere. On the left side of the frame, drummers intensify the ominous ambiance with their rhythmic beats. In the center, a hog-tied victim lies helpless and vulnerable, awaiting his tragic fate. Two grave diggers can be seen diligently digging a fresh grave nearby, surrounded by a macabre pile of human skulls and quivers of arrows. These artifacts serve as reminders of past sacrifices and battles fought. The handcoloured copperplate engraving by Sasso after John Webber beautifully showcases this moment frozen in time. It is part of Giulio Ferrario's renowned collection titled "Ancient and Modern Costumes of all the Peoples of the World" which adds historical significance to this extraordinary visual documentation. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to 1844 Florence, Italy when it was created. The attention to detail and vivid coloring bring life to an otherwise unsettling subject matter. This thought-provoking image serves as a reminder that throughout history, cultures have practiced rituals that may seem foreign or disturbing to us today. It invites us to reflect on our own beliefs and customs while appreciating the diversity found within humanity's rich tapestry.
