Antique print titled 'Portraits d'Habitans de Cayeli'. Original old lithograph of Kayeli people, an ethnic group mainly living on the southern coast of the Kayeli Gulf of Indonesian island Buru, mainly from the Kaiely Gulf. From an ethnographic point of view, Kayeli are close to other indigenous people of Buru, such as Lisela and Buru. This print originates from 'Voyage de la corvette l'Astrolabe exécuté par ordre du Roi (..)'. Published 1833. Lithographed after de Sainson.
De Sainson was the official artist to the voyage under the command of Jules-Sébastian-César Dumont d'Urville aboard the Astrolabe. Amongst other places the voyage took in the western, southern and eastern coasts of Australia (referred to as Nouvelle Hollande), the upper South Island and east coast of New Zealand, Tonga, Fiji, Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea.
