About the Item
Title: 19th Century Guam Mourning Costume Lithograph – Dolorida, Gubam Island
Description: This poignant lithograph, titled "Dolorida (Gubam)," captures a woman from Guam in a traditional mourning costume, reflecting the cultural expressions of grief and spirituality in the Pacific region. Published in 1840 as part of "Voyage autour du monde," this illustration combines art and ethnography, offering insight into the customs and emotional depths of the Chamorro people.
The central figure, depicted in a contemplative pose, is draped in a flowing skirt adorned with intricate patterns. Her hands clasped together and her gaze cast downward evoke a sense of solemnity and reflection. The details of the lithograph, such as her delicate necklace and headwear, add authenticity and character, while the inclusion of simple wooden crosses in the background underscores the setting of a burial ground.
Lithography, the technique used to create this print, enabled the production of fine, precise lines and subtle tonal variations. This method was ideal for capturing the textures of the fabric and the delicate details of the landscape. The soft shading and the minimalist composition lend an air of grace and timelessness to this work.
This lithograph serves as both a work of art and a historical document, shedding light on Guam's cultural heritage and its unique mourning practices. A valuable addition to collections focusing on the Pacific or ethnographic studies, this piece carries both artistic and cultural significance.
Condition: Excellent condition with slight age-related toning and faint foxing. Wide margins intact and image details sharp.
Framing Tip: Use a shadowbox-style frame to highlight the solemn tone of the piece. A neutral mat and conservation glass will enhance and preserve its historical essence. This approach creates a thoughtful display, fitting for the lithograph's reflective subject matter.
