EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Native American woman from Quito, Ecuador, captured by the Belgian School in the 19th century. Dressed in a check tunic and full petticoat, she carries her precious baby wrapped in a check bandana. The image is a handcoloured woodcut from Auguste Wahlens' renowned work "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples du Monde" (Manners, Customs and Costumes of all the People of the World), published in Brussels in 1845. The pseudonymous author Jean-Francois-Nicolas Loumyer meticulously documented various cultures and costumes during his time as an archivist with Belgium's Heraldic Department. This particular depiction offers us a glimpse into the rich indigenous heritage of Quito's native population. The photograph not only captures their traditional attire but also provides insight into their way of life. It serves as a reminder of the diverse tribes and nations that exist within our world, each with its own unique fashion and customs. As we admire this beautiful portrayal, it is impossible not to be moved by the tender bond between mother and child. The presence of the newborn symbolizes hope for future generations while highlighting the universal experience of motherhood. Through this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's collection at Bridgeman Images, we are transported back to an era when exploration was paramount and cultural diversity was celebrated. It invites us to reflect on our shared humanity while appreciating both our differences and similarities across borders.
