1. Title: "A Peaceful Scene from the Island of Buro (Buru), Moluccas, Indonesia: A Handcolored Lithograph from Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures" This handcolored lithograph, created circa 1835-1840, offers a glimpse into the daily life of a village on the enchanting island of Buro (Buru) in the Moluccas, Indonesia. The Moluccas, also known as the Maluku Islands, are renowned for their rich biodiversity and unique cultural heritage. The image showcases a picturesque landscape, with a tranquil village nestled amidst lush greenery and surrounded by clear, azure waters. A quaint wooden bridge arches gracefully over a babbling stream, connecting the village to the rest of the island. The houses, with their thatched roofs and intricately carved wooden facades, reflect the distinctive architectural style of the region. The natives, dressed in their colorful traditional costumes, are engaged in various activities. Some are tending to their gardens, while others are seen fishing or socializing. The vibrant attire, adorned with intricate patterns and symbols, provides a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the people of Buro. This ethnographic masterpiece, part of Friedrich Wilhelm Goedsche's Complete Gallery of Peoples in True Pictures, serves as an invaluable historical record of the customs, costumes, and daily life of the people of Buro during the 19th century. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of handcoloring further enhance the authenticity and beauty of this image. The Moluccas, with their diverse population and rich history, continue to be a source of fascination for scholars, travelers, and history enthusiasts. This lithograph offers a captivating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives of the people of Buro and their unique island culture.
