EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "House of the Ancients, Island of Tinian" takes us on a visual journey to the remote Mariana Islands in the Western Pacific. The image, captured by Bramati in the 19th century, showcases plate 31 from Jules Ferrario's renowned work "Le Costume Ancien et Moderne" published around the 1820s-30s. The photograph transports us back in time as we witness a scene filled with intrigue and cultural significance. We see European explorers and travelers immersed in an expedition to this far-flung corner of Oceania. They stand amidst ancient stone formations known as latte stones, built by the Chamorro people who once inhabited these lands. The ruins of what was once a House of the Ancients loom behind them, evoking a sense of mystery and wonder. These remnants serve as a testament to the rich history and traditions that have shaped this region for centuries. As we gaze at this mesmerizing composition, we are reminded of Louis Freycinet's seminal work "Voyage autour du Monde" which inspired Ferrario's illustrations. This print serves as a window into an era when exploration and discovery were paramount. With its vibrant colors brought to life through lithography techniques, this image captures not only our attention but also our imagination. It invites us to reflect on the interconnectedness between cultures across continents and offers glimpses into worlds long gone but forever preserved within art's embrace.
