Three Gringos in Central America and Venezuela
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing and vibrant lithograph created by American artist Edward Penfield in 1896. Published by Harper & Brothers in New York, this illustration was featured in "Harper's Magazine" and is a captivating representation of three American travelers in Central America and Venezuela. Richard Harding Davis, an acclaimed American author and journalist, penned the narrative that inspired Penfield's illustration. The image showcases the three gringos, dressed in typical late 19th-century attire, seated on the bank of a lush, green river. The river's calm waters reflect the colorful scene, with the indigenous people in their traditional garb paddling a canoe nearby. Penfield's masterful use of color and lithography techniques brings the exotic setting to life. The rich, green color palette dominates the illustration, with the gringos' skin tones adding a touch of contrast. The lettering, in elegant, capitalized text, reads "Three Gringos in Central America and Venezuela" at the top, while the bottom left corner bears the signature of the artist, "Edward Penfield." This illustration is a testament to the heritage art and literature of the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of travel and adventure during that era. The New York Public Library houses this precious piece of history, preserving it for future generations to appreciate the beauty and intrigue of the world beyond their borders. The image of the three gringos, surrounded by the local people and the lush Central American landscape, invites us to explore the rich geography and diverse cultures of the region. Penfield's illustration is a reminder of the power of art to transport us to far-off lands and immerse us in the stories of the past.
