This is a vintage image of a young Iban couple which comes from J.A. Hammerton's 1922 People of All Nations, an epic attempt to photograph and describe most of the world's ethic groups. The Iban people live largely in modern Sarawak on the island of Borneo and where once famous as headhunters. This image suggests there was also a soft side to this ancient culture. The original image has been digitally enhanced and modified to give it a modern freshness that should see it used as for posters, wall art, cards and any number of other creative products.
