EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches from Borneo" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of this exotic land. The engraving, created by an English School artist, showcases a variety of intriguing scenes that transport us to the heart of Borneo. In the foreground, we see an English boat anchored in the river, surrounded by a fleet of vessels. The architecture of Kenowit town stands proudly in the background, showcasing its unique blend of traditional and colonial influences. As our eyes wander across the image, we are drawn to fascinating details such as Dyak weapons and Kayan weapons displayed prominently on board one of the ships. The artist also captures a significant aspect of Dyak culture - their mode of drying heads - which adds an element of intrigue and mystery to this composition. Further along the river Rejang, we spot Ranee Boat carrying important figures like Rajah Walli and Singa Rajah. Through this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how maritime activities shaped life in Borneo during this era. It is evident that these sketches were originally intended for publication in The Illustrated London News on November 10th, 1849 – providing readers with a window into distant lands. Bridgeman Images has preserved this historical gem from their Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection for all art enthusiasts to appreciate today.
