About the Item

Title: 19th Century Guam Costume Lithograph – Angela, Woman from Gubam Island Description: This exquisite lithograph titled "Angela, Femme de l’île de Gubam" offers a rare and captivating glimpse into the traditional attire of a woman from Guam in the Pacific. Published in 1840 as part of "Voyage autour du monde," this piece captures a moment in time when explorers documented the unique cultural identities of distant lands. The composition highlights Angela's striking figure adorned in a richly patterned skirt and flowing blouse, complemented by detailed jewelry and a graceful pose that reflects both pride and elegance. The lithograph technique, popular in the 19th century, is evident in the finely rendered textures and delicate shading that bring depth and dimension to this work. The black-and-white contrast enhances the details of her costume, emphasizing the intricate patterns on the fabric and the finely executed strands of her flowing hair. The lithographic process allowed for precise and vivid illustrations, making it an essential medium for documenting ethnographic studies during this period. This artwork is not only a visual delight but also a historical document, shedding light on Guam's traditional clothing and cultural heritage. Its rarity and subject matter make it a valuable addition to any collection focused on the Pacific or ethnographic studies. Condition: Well-preserved with light age toning. Margins are intact, with minor foxing typical for its age. Clean and vibrant impression. Framing Tip: Use a classic black or dark wood frame with a neutral mat to accentuate the lithograph's historical charm. Consider UV-protective glass to safeguard against light exposure and maintain the print's clarity. A single frame with a simple design allows the lithograph to stand out as an elegant centerpiece.
