EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the 19th century showcases a group of Nukahiwans adorned with an array of vibrant tattoos. The German School artist skillfully captured the intricate details of each individual's body art in this coloured engraving, which is now part of a private collection. The image originates from "A Bilderbuch fAor KinderA" (Picture Book for Children) published between 1790 and 1830 by Friedrich Justin Bertuch, a renowned figure in the field. It offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Nukahiwans, who hail from Oceania. The diversity and complexity of their tattoos are truly mesmerizing. Each person proudly displays their unique markings, symbolizing various aspects of their identity or tribal affiliation. From bold geometric patterns to delicate symbols representing nature or spirituality, these tattoos reflect both personal expression and communal traditions. This print not only serves as an aesthetic delight but also sheds light on the ancient practice of tattooing among different cultures worldwide. It reminds us that body art has been used throughout history as a means to communicate one's beliefs, values, and social standing. Thanks to ePurix Verlag Volker Christen and Bridgeman Images for preserving this remarkable piece that celebrates human creativity and cultural diversity without commercial intent.
