Peoples of the Pacific

An attractive lithograph from 1940 showing the peoples of the Pacific, after the eponymous mural by the talented Mexican intellectual Miguel Covarrubias. The map shows the Pacific in its entirety and extends to all of the Americas, Oceania, and most of southeastern and eastern Asia. The focus of the work is the dozens of portraits of the inhabitants of each region depicted on the map, including the aboriginal peoples in the Pacific and the Americas, white settlers, and the dominant ethnicities in eastern Asia. A legend shows the supposed dominant racial distribution across the map.
