EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled "Brooke Negotiates Treaty," transport us back in time to the historic moment when James Brooke, the English adventurer and self-proclaimed Rajah of Sarawak, negotiated his first treaty with the Sultan of Borneo in 1842. The image, taken from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a fascinating glimpse into the rich and complex history of Borneo and its people. Brooke, dressed in a formal suit and wearing a top hat, sits confidently on a Persian carpet, surrounded by an array of ornate furnishings and exotic objects. The Sultan, dressed in traditional Malay attire, sits across from him, holding a sword and a bowl of incense. The intricate details of the room's decor, from the ornate gold-trimmed walls to the intricately patterned rug, speak to the wealth and power of the Sultan's court. The treaty, which is spread out on a low table between them, represents a significant turning point in the relationship between the British and the Borneo courts. The document, signed just a few months after Brooke's arrival in Borneo, granted him the right to establish a British protectorate over Sarawak and to collect taxes and maintain a small military force. Despite the formal setting of the photograph, the dynamic between Brooke and the Sultan is palpable. The intensity of their gaze, the slight tilt of their heads, and the positioning of their hands all suggest the complex negotiations and power plays that were taking place. The photograph offers a rare and intriguing glimpse into the world of 19th-century Borneo, a time of exploration, adventure, and cultural exchange.
