Consequence Formal Huge Outing Pacific Procession Retinue Samoa Samoan Servants Shield Umbrella 1902


EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the grandeur and tradition of a Samoan nobleman's outing in the early 20th century. Dressed in the finest mats and adorned with intricate tattoos, the Samoan man of consequence leads a formal procession through the tropical sun-soaked landscape of his Pacific island home. Protected from the sun's harsh rays by a massive umbrella, carried by one of his servants, the nobleman cuts an imposing figure. The umbrella, a symbol of status and power, served not only to shield him from the sun but also to signify his high rank. Surrounded by a retinue of loyal servants, the nobleman's outing was a public display of his wealth and influence. The servants, dressed in traditional attire, followed closely behind, carrying an array of provisions and supplies for the journey. This historical image, taken in 1902, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Samoa and the Pacific Islands. The formal procession, with its grand umbrella and retinue of servants, represents a time when tradition and custom played a central role in Samoan society. The vibrant colors and intricate patterns of the mats and tattoos, as well as the lush greenery of the landscape, add to the sense of beauty and wonder that characterizes this unique and fascinating corner of the world. This photograph is a testament to the enduring legacy of Samoan history and the importance of preserving the traditions and customs of the past for future generations.
