EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 19th century, capturing a moment of cultural significance in Indonesia. The image depicts "The picking of Syri, or betel" an essential process for the production of local Chic. Drawn by M. de Molins during his journey to Java from 1858 to 1861, this engraving beautifully illustrates the intricate details involved in this traditional practice. In the picture, we see native individuals engaged in harvesting Syri leaves from towering trees. These leaves are then coated with lime before being used as a crucial ingredient in the production of local Chic. The attention to detail is remarkable, showcasing not only the agricultural aspect but also highlighting manufacturing technology employed at that time. This print is part of the Selvas collection and was featured in "Le tour du monde" edited by Edouard Charton in 1864. It offers us a glimpse into a different era and culture through its artistic representation. Leonard de Selva has expertly captured this historical moment with precision and clarity, allowing viewers to appreciate both the beauty and significance of this age-old tradition. As we gaze upon this enchanting image, we are transported back to an era where nature's bounty intertwined seamlessly with human ingenuity – reminding us of our rich cultural heritage and how it continues to shape our world today.
