EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Chief Mango, a prominent figure from the Kone tribe in New Caledonia during the 19th century. The Kone tribe had suffered greatly due to relentless attacks by neighboring mountain tribes, leaving them vulnerable and in need of refuge. Fortunately, they found solace in Gatope, a coastal region where they were warmly welcomed by friendly locals led by Chief Kahoua. The image depicts Chief Mango standing tall and proud amidst his people, surrounded by the serene beauty of their newfound sanctuary. His regal presence is accentuated by his traditional attire and commanding demeanor. In contrast, Chief Kahoua can be seen beside him wearing a hat and holding an umbrella, symbolizing protection and hospitality. This engraving was created as part of Jules Garnier's extensive documentation of his journey through New Caledonia between 1863-1866. Published in "Le tour du monde" edited by Edouard Charton in 1868 Paris, it offers a glimpse into the diverse cultures and landscapes encountered during this remarkable expedition. Preserved within the Selva Collection, this historical piece serves as a testament to resilience and unity among indigenous communities facing adversity. It not only captures an important moment in time but also sheds light on the rich cultural heritage that continues to shape New Caledonia today.
