EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print captures the intriguing scene of paternalistic colonization by Jesuites in Paraguay, as they utilized the knowledge and skills of the Tupi Guaranis Indians. The unknown artist beautifully portrays this historical moment, showcasing a private collection that sheds light on an important chapter in South American history. The image depicts a diverse group of individuals engaged in various activities. A young girl stands tall as a goalkeeper, symbolizing protection and resilience within this colonial context. Meanwhile, a woman skillfully weaves intricate patterns on a loom, highlighting her expertise in the weaving metier. In the background, one can observe agriculture being carried out by both men and women. This emphasizes their laborious efforts to sustain themselves and contribute to their community's well-being. The presence of beef suggests livestock breeding as another crucial aspect of their livelihoods. Religion also plays a significant role in this scene; Jesus Christ is depicted prominently at the center, signifying the influence of Christianity brought by the Jesuites during colonization. Moreover, references to American Indian culture are evident through traditional attire worn by some figures. Paraguay serves as the backdrop for these events unfolding before us - its rich history intertwined with European colonizers and indigenous peoples alike. Leonard de Selva's photography preserves this moment from centuries past while inviting viewers to reflect upon themes such as enslavement, cultural exchange, and cooperation between different communities.
