Titled "Ein malaisches Mädchen," or "A Malay Girl," this print identifies its subject by ethnic type rather than by name, a common practice in European illustrated works of the 19th century. Images of Malay subjects circulated widely in German and Dutch travel writing and ethnographic publications about the Malay Archipelago, where pictures served to introduce readers to peoples they considered exotic. The shelflist card associates the print with a name, Fenderich, but the record does not confirm that person's role in making or publishing it, and no date is recorded. Viewers should keep in mind that pictures like this often reflected colonial-era assumptions about their subjects.
