EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing an Iban woman skillfully making thread with a mangle in Borneo, 1922. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Dr Charles Hose, whose work has been featured in the renowned publication "Peoples of All Nations". Intriguingly, the image portrays not only the traditional costume worn by the young Iban woman but also her barefoot presence as she diligently tends to her occupation as a textile worker. With cotton fibers delicately held between her fingers, she effortlessly maneuvers the machine to create fine threads that will eventually be transformed into beautiful textiles. The photograph provides us with a glimpse into the daily life of indigenous people in South East Asia during the early 20th century. It serves as a testament to their rich cultural heritage and showcases their expertise in textile production. As we admire this powerful image, we are reminded of both the resilience and creativity embodied by women like her who played vital roles within their communities. This print not only preserves history but also pays homage to these unsung heroes whose contributions often go unnoticed. With its timeless appeal and historical significance, this print transports us back to an era where tradition met innovation through machinery. It stands as a tribute to those who have dedicated themselves to preserving their local customs while embracing progress.
