EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Exposition Universelle of 1889. The image showcases "Le village canaque" at the Esplanade des Invalides, where the indigenous people from New Caledonia were exhibited as part of the controversial "Zoo humain". The drawing, created by Louis Tinayre, provides a glimpse into this ethnological exposure during the universal exhibition. It depicts a scene filled with spectators from all walks of life, marveling at the native inhabitants on display. This powerful illustration raises questions about civilization and colonialism. As we observe this historical snapshot, it is impossible not to reflect on our own human species and its diverse populations. The presence of families within the crowd reminds us that these exhibitions were not merely for entertainment but also served as an opportunity for education and exploration. Tinayre's detailed engraving transports us back to a time when leisurely activities included visiting zoos and witnessing different cultures firsthand. This particular image serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of cultural sensitivity and respect for diversity. In conclusion, this remarkable print offers an intriguing window into both past attitudes towards indigenous peoples and our evolving understanding of human rights. It invites viewers to contemplate their own role in shaping societies that celebrate rather than exploit differences among individuals worldwide.
