"Warrior from the Island of Guebe" is an illustration from the travelogue "Voyage autour du Monde" (Voyage Around the World), which was published between 1817 and 1820. The work is attributed to Jacques Etienne Victor Arago, a French writer, artist, and explorer. Arago participated in the Freycinet expedition, a circumnavigation of the globe that took place between 1817 and 1820 aboard the ships Uranie and Physicienne, under the command of Louis de Freycinet. During this voyage, Arago served as the official artist and draughtsman, documenting the people, landscapes, and cultures encountered on the journey.

The illustration "Warrior from the Island of Guebe" likely depicts a native inhabitant of one of the Pacific islands visited during the expedition. Arago's works, including his detailed drawings and descriptions, provide valuable ethnographic and scientific insights into the early 19th-century Pacific world. His depictions were among the first to introduce European audiences to the diverse societies of the Pacific Islands, contributing to the broader understanding of these cultures.

The "Voyage autour du Monde" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the fields of anthropology and ethnography. Arago's illustrations, including "Warrior from the Island of Guebe," are considered important historical documents that capture the appearance and customs of indigenous peoples at a time when European contact was increasing, but before widespread colonial influence had significantly altered their ways of life.

The travelogue, with its vivid illustrations and engaging narrative, was well-received upon publication and remains a valuable resource for researchers studying early 19th-century exploration, cross-cultural encounters, and the history of the Pacific Islands. The illustration "Warrior from the Island of Guebe" exemplifies Arago's skill in portraying the dignity and individuality of the subjects he encountered, making it a noteworthy piece within the larger body of his work.
