EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history where an Inca teacher is imparting lessons on how to keep accounts using a Quipu. The Quipu, also known as quipou or quipo, was a unique method used by the Inca administration for census and statistical data concerning the economy and society of their empire.
In the absence of writing, the administration depicted natural integers by arranging knots along cords of various colors attached to a string. This intricate system allowed them to record important information with precision and efficiency.
The image showcases the dedication and expertise of the Inca teacher as they guide their students through this ancient practice. It serves as a reminder of the advanced knowledge and skills possessed by indigenous peoples long before modern technologies were developed.
As we admire this 19th-century color engraving, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the ingenuity and sophistication of Inca civilization. It is a testament to their innovative spirit and commitment to preserving knowledge through generations.
Through this photo print, we gain insight into the rich cultural heritage of the Indians of America and appreciate their contributions to fields such as mathematics, economics, and administration. It is truly a fascinating glimpse into a world where tradition meets innovation in remarkable ways.
