EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print showcases a man and woman from the island of Yap in the Caroline Islands, surrounded by stones used as currency. The image, created by an unknown European artist in the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the unique cultural practices of this Micronesian community. The couple stands proudly, adorned in traditional attire that reflects their islander heritage. The man wears a grass skirt while his wife dons an intricately woven garment. Their clothing symbolizes their connection to nature and their deep-rooted traditions. What truly captures attention are the stones scattered around them - these serve as money on Yap Island. These large circular discs made from limestone hold great value within their society and are used for various transactions. It is fascinating to witness how something as ordinary as stones can become such significant symbols of wealth and trade. This educational card was part of Liebig's collection, which aimed to provide knowledge about different cultures worldwide during the late 19th or early 20th century. By showcasing this image, Look and Learn allows us to explore not only the monetary system but also gain insight into everyday life on Yap Island. As we observe this photograph print today, it serves as a reminder of our interconnected world where diverse customs shape societies across continents.
