EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Sibou Mobang, head of cannibals" is a powerful depiction of a native king from Borneo. Created by the talented artist G. Vuillier in 1890, this print was originally featured in the renowned publication "Le Tour du Monde" directed by Edouard Charton. The image showcases Sibou Mobang, an intriguing figure who held the title of head of cannibals. His regal presence is evident as he gazes directly at the viewer with an air of authority and mystery. The intricate details captured by Vuillier's skilled hand bring to life every line and contour on Sibou Mobang's face. This engraving served as an illustration for Carl Bock's story "De Koutei a Bandjirmasin: Voyage through Borneo". It offers viewers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and traditions of indigenous people living in Indonesia during that time period. Now part of a private collection, this historic artwork continues to fascinate audiences with its portrayal of both power and enigma. Leonard de Selva skillfully captures this timeless piece through his photography, preserving it for generations to come. As we admire this remarkable print, let us reflect on the diversity and complexity found within different cultures around the world – reminding us that there is always more than meets the eye when it comes to understanding others' way of life.
