About the Item

Title: Guam Island Ethnographic Lithograph – "Mariquitta, Jeune Fille de Gubam" Description: This striking lithograph, "Mariquitta, Jeune Fille de Gubam," beautifully captures the traditional attire and daily life of a young woman from Guam in the mid-19th century. Published in 1840 as part of "Voyage autour du monde," this artwork is both a visual delight and an ethnographic record, offering an intimate glimpse into the culture of the Pacific islands. The subject, barefoot and adorned in a modest yet intricately patterned skirt, carries a woven cloth draped over her head and shoulders. Her serene expression and the natural pose evoke a sense of quiet resilience and grace. The detailed rendering of her clothing, accessories, and posture reflects the artistry of 19th-century lithographic techniques, which excelled in creating precise line work and tonal variations. Lithography was a groundbreaking medium of the time, allowing artists to achieve a high level of detail and texture, as seen in the delicate folds of the fabric and the soft shading of the figure. This piece serves as a historical artifact, documenting the unique customs and traditional dress of Guam’s Chamorro people during this period of cultural transition. Condition: Very good condition with light toning and occasional faint foxing typical of age. The margins are wide, and the print quality is crisp. Framing Tip: Pair this piece with a light wood or bamboo frame to reflect its Pacific Island heritage. A cream or pale beige mat will complement the lithograph’s soft tones while ensuring a professional, museum-quality presentation. Conservation-grade materials are recommended to preserve its delicate details and historical value.

Jeune Fille Arabe in Traditional Attire from Wahlen's 1844 Lithographs

Located in Langweer, NL

Title: "Jeune Fille Arabe in Traditional Attire from Wahlen's 1844 Lithographs" Description: This hand-colored lithograph, titled *Jeune Fille Arabe* (Young Arab Girl), is from the Asia volume of Auguste Wahlen’s "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples de Monde" (Customs, Manners, and Dress of All the Peoples of the World), published in 1844. The print was created by an anonymous engraver after Wahlen’s work, with artists like Evrard Duverger, L. Markaert, and R. King contributing to the collection. Enhanced with Arabic gum on vellum paper, the lithograph offers a striking representation of an Arabian woman in traditional attire, including a striped dress, animal-print shawl, and ornate jewelry. Cultural and Artistic Insight: The subject's attire reflects a blend of practical clothing and decorative elements, such as the striped fabric and the leopard-patterned wrap. Her jewelry, including bracelets and a headpiece, highlights her status or cultural identity. The presence of a background with tropical trees and village buildings suggests that this scene might depict a coastal or rural area, where both traditional and more exotic elements are incorporated into daily life. Attractiveness: The vivid hand-coloring, along with the detailed rendering of fabric patterns and accessories, makes this print particularly appealing. The glossy finish provided by the Arabic gum adds depth to the colors, giving the illustration a luminous quality. The juxtaposition of traditional Arabian dress...
