Painting Description
"Occupations of the Agagna people, Mariana Islands, plate 29 from 'Le Costume Ancien et Moderne'" is a historical illustration that forms part of the extensive work "Le Costume Ancien et Moderne," authored by Giulio Ferrario in the early 19th century. This particular plate provides a visual depiction of the daily activities and traditional occupations of the indigenous Chamorro people of Agaña (now Hagåtña), the capital city of the Mariana Islands, during the period. The work is a significant cultural and anthropological resource, offering insights into the customs, clothing, and ways of life of the Chamorro people before extensive European influence reshaped the region's sociocultural landscape.
Giulio Ferrario's "Le Costume Ancien et Moderne" was published in Italy between 1816 and 1834 and is renowned for its detailed engravings and descriptions of the traditional attire, occupations, and customs of people from various parts of the world. The collection is divided into several volumes, with each focusing on different geographical regions. The inclusion of the Mariana Islands and specifically the depiction of the Agagna people's occupations highlights the breadth of Ferrario's work and his commitment to documenting the diversity of global cultures.
The illustration, as with others in the series, serves not only as a historical record but also as a piece of art, showcasing the intricacies of the Chamorro people's traditional attire, tools, and practices. It reflects the ethnographic knowledge of the time and contributes to our understanding of the cultural heritage of the Pacific Islands. As such, "Occupations of the Agagna people, Mariana Islands, plate 29" remains a valuable resource for historians, anthropologists, and art historians, offering a glimpse into the daily life of the Chamorro people in the early 19th century.
