"Natives of the Island of Rotuma: Antique Ethnographic Print, circa 1825

About the Item

This antique print titled "Naturels de l'Ile Rotouma" depicts the indigenous people of the Island of Rotuma. The print offers a glimpse into the appearance and attire of the island's inhabitants during the early 19th century. The individuals are shown in traditional clothing and are likely engaged in activities or poses that reflect their daily life and culture. This print is part of the larger work "Voyage autour du monde exécuté par ordre du roi, sur la corvette de Sa Majesté, La Coquille," which documented a voyage around the world conducted by Louis Isidore Duperrey and provides valuable insights into the ethnography of various regions visited during the expedition. Duperrey (1786-1865) was a French marine hydrographer, and the commander of the 'Coquille' during its voyage (1822-1825) to Chile, Peru, Polynesia, the Molucca Islands (Indonesia), New Ireland (Papua New Guinea) and Australia.
