- Description
Shows three figures, one bearded man holding a poised spear and a short stick with a star-shaped end. His genitals are tied up in cloth strips attached to his belt. At the right a woman in a short skirt, with earrings and short hair, begins to flee, while a man in a tall cylindrical hat is seated on the ground beside one of two small circular domed thatched buildings.
The man with weapons is based on a figure with a slightly different pose but the same weapons, in Hodges' "The landing at Tanna, one of the New Hebrides". The woman and the seated man are taken from Hodges' "Woman of New Caledonia" and Man of New Caledonia". The houses are taken from New Caledonian scenes by Hodges.
From an unknown Italian publication. One of the etchers was Angelo Biasioli, 1790-1830.
