EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the family life of the Yahuas Indians in the mission of San Jose, Peru. The image showcases the intricate daily activities of this indigenous community, providing a glimpse into their unique traditions and skills. In the foreground, we see a man joyfully playing with his last-born child while lounging in a hammock. This intimate moment reflects the strong bond between father and child within Yahuas culture. Meanwhile, in the background, his wife diligently prepares stalks of palm chambira for making hammocks-nets. The Yahuas are renowned for their exceptional craftsmanship in creating these intricate hammocks that serve as both practical bedding and beautiful works of art. The engraving was created to illustrate Paul Marcoy's voyage from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean through South America during 1848-1860. Published under Edouard Charton's direction in "Le tour du monde" this artwork offers an invaluable historical record of indigenous communities like the Yahuas during that time period. Leonard de Selva skillfully captured this moment through his lens, allowing us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also gain insight into an ancient way of life that continues to thrive today. As we admire this photograph print, we are reminded of our shared humanity and interconnectedness across cultures and generations.
