EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1880, where we find ourselves in the enchanting Mahori-Papuan region of Eastern New Guinea. The image showcases a village composed entirely of stilt houses, an architectural marvel that reflects the ingenuity and resourcefulness of its inhabitants. As we delve into this wood engraving from L. M. D Albertis' book "New Guinea: What I Did and What I Saw" our eyes are drawn to the intricate details captured within. Each house stands tall on sturdy stilts, seemingly defying gravity as they hover above the ground. A network of ladders connects these elevated dwellings, allowing villagers to navigate their way through this unique landscape with ease. The surrounding environment adds another layer of beauty to this scene; towering palm trees sway gently in the breeze while lush foliage frames each structure. In one corner, a pig roams freely beneath a canopy of leaves, adding an element of domesticity amidst nature's grandeur. This photograph transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into a world untouched by modernization. It serves as a testament to human adaptability and resilience in creating homes that harmonize with their surroundings. Through this remarkable piece from The Granger Collection's archives, we are reminded of the rich cultural diversity found across our planet and how it shapes our understanding of history and humanity itself.
