EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting island of Reunion in the late 19th century. The image showcases a group of indigenous people, providing a glimpse into their rich culture and traditional costumes. The subjects of this photograph are primarily males, ranging from young boys to adults. They exude an air of pride as they don their intricate national dress, which reflects the unique heritage and customs of Reunion. Each individual's attire is meticulously crafted, showcasing vibrant patterns and textures that pay homage to their African roots. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to the image, allowing us to appreciate the details without distraction. The engraving was created by Robert Brown for his renowned work "The Countries of the World" published by Cassell in London & Paris around 1890. Reunion Island itself is located in the Indian Ocean east of Madagascar and forms part of the Mascarene Islands. This remote location has contributed to its distinct cultural identity, making it a fascinating subject for exploration. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time - witnessing not only a moment frozen within history but also celebrating the resilience and beauty found within different cultures across our diverse world.
