EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant scene from the late 19th century in Colombia. The engraving, created by Charles Edouard Delort, depicts the spoilage of a child by his mother alongside the manufacture of cane eau de vie (rum) near Cali in the Cauca Valley. The image is part of a collection called Selva Collection, which was published in Paris as part of a mission assignment by the French government. It was featured in "Equinoxiale America" an intriguing story written by E. Andre and published in "Le Tour du Monde" under the direction of Edouard Charton. In this snapshot of daily life, we witness both tender care and industrious activity. The mother dotes on her child while also engaging in the manufacturing process for rum production. This juxtaposition highlights not only traditional handicraft but also showcases Colombian manufacturing technology at that time. The photograph offers us a glimpse into South American culture during this era, showcasing elements such as grooming practices and even lice removal. It serves as a historical record capturing various aspects of life including family dynamics, alcohol production, and societal norms. Leonard de Selva's skillful photography beautifully brings out these details while retaining its timeless charm. This remarkable piece invites viewers to reflect on cultural heritage and appreciate how it has evolved over time.
