EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Negritos of Yriga Mountain" takes us on a visual journey to the Philippines in the late 19th century. Created by Etienne Antoine Eugene Ronjat, this print was commissioned to illustrate Alfred Marche's story "Lucon and Palaouan: Six Years in the Philippines" for Le Tour du Monde magazine. The image showcases a native Negrito family from Yriga Mountain, providing a glimpse into their way of life. The portrait captures their striking features and unique cultural attributes. The adults are depicted with nudity, adorned only with traditional accessories such as necklaces and bracelets. They hold lances and arrows, symbols of their hunting prowess. The engraver skillfully conveys the essence of this indigenous community through intricate details that highlight their physical characteristics and lifestyle. The composition beautifully portrays familial bonds as parents stand proudly alongside their offspring. This historical artwork offers valuable insights into the rich diversity of Asian cultures at a time when exploration was expanding global knowledge. Preserved in private collection today, it serves as an important reminder of our shared human heritage. Leonard de Selva's photograph impeccably captures this remarkable engraving, preserving its timeless beauty for generations to come. As we admire this piece from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness the resilience and strength embodied by these Negrito people living amidst the stunning landscapes of Yriga Mountain.
