EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the diverse and vibrant culture of indigenous Cayenne in French Guiana during the 19th century. The image captures a group of women dressed in traditional sapling attire, characterized by intricately knotted dresses made from madras fabric. Their colorful turbans add an extra touch of elegance to their ensemble, highlighting their pride in their cultural heritage. In contrast, the men have adopted Western clothing styles, reflecting the influence of colonialism on their fashion choices. This juxtaposition between traditional and modern attire offers a glimpse into the complex dynamics at play during this period. The engraving was created by Frederic Bouyer, captain of fregate, as part of his voyage to French Guiana between 1862-1863. It was featured in "Le tour du monde" a renowned journal of travels published under the direction of Edouard Charton in Paris. The Selva Collection has preserved this remarkable piece which provides valuable insight into the rich history and traditions of indigenous Cayenne. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully captures every intricate detail, allowing viewers to appreciate both the artistic skill behind this engraving and its historical significance. As we gaze upon this image today, it serves as a reminder that cultural diversity should be celebrated and cherished for generations to come.
