EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Campos, 1895" captures a poignant moment in Brazilian history. The artist behind this masterpiece is Francisco Henszler, whose talent for capturing the essence of his subjects shines through in this image. Taken from Gustavo Koenigswald's book "Sao Paulo" published in 1895, the photograph showcases a group of men standing outdoors in a rural setting. The direct gaze of these local people draws you into their world, revealing their resilience amidst poverty and war. These brave peasants are armed with rifles, symbolizing both their struggle for survival and their determination to protect what is theirs. This evocative portrayal transports us back to the 19th century when Brazil was grappling with social inequality and economic challenges. Henszler's monochrome technique adds depth to the composition as it emphasizes the contrasts between light and shadow. The print collector has preserved this historical artifact that serves as a window into Brazil's past - an era marked by hardship but also characterized by the strength and spirit of its people. As we admire this powerful portrait captured over a century ago, let us reflect on how far Brazil has come since then while acknowledging that there is still work to be done towards achieving equality for all its citizens.
