EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcolored lithograph showcases the Chamorro people of Guam and the Mariana Islands, a collection of volcanic islands located in the western Pacific Ocean. The image, taken from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, published in Meissen around 1835-1840, offers a glimpse into the daily lives and customs of this vibrant community. In the foreground, a Chamorro man, dressed in a loincloth and adorned with traditional necklaces and bracelets, stands proudly with his hands on his hips. His strong, muscular build and piercing gaze convey a sense of strength and resilience. Behind him, a Chamorro woman, clad in a colorful, flowing skirt and blouse, cradles her young daughter. The child, with dark, curious eyes and a small, innocent smile, gazes up at her mother. To the right, two young Chamorro boys playfully engage in a game, their laughter echoing through the scene. The boys' bare feet and simple loincloths are a testament to the tropical climate of the islands. In the background, a Chamorro man, dressed as a mayor or village leader, sits regally on a mat, his authority conveyed through his stature and the respectful demeanor of those around him. The image also features several other intriguing details, such as the traditional Chamorro house in the background, with its high thatched roof and open sides, and the various tools and implements scattered throughout the scene. This image offers a unique and valuable window into the history, customs, and costumes of the Chamorro people of Guam and the Mariana Islands.
