EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting Lake dwellings of Santa Rosa, near Maracaibo, Venezuela in 1895. The image showcases a rowing boat gracefully gliding across the calm waters of the lake, surrounded by an array of unique buildings perched on stilts. These humble huts, made of grass and wood, stand as a testament to the resourcefulness and ingenuity of their inhabitants. The photograph is an engraving from "The Universal Geography with Illustrations and Maps" authored by Elisee Reclus and published by Virtue & Co. Ltd. It offers us a glimpse into life in this South American country during the 19th century. Located in Zulia state, Santa Rosa was home to these remarkable lake dwellings that served as residences for its people. The serene setting provided both transportation and shelter for its residents who relied heavily on boats as their primary mode of transport. As we admire this monochrome snapshot captured over a century ago, it serves as a reminder of the rich geography and cultural heritage that Venezuela possesses. This print not only highlights the beauty of Lake Maracaibo but also pays homage to Elisee Reclus's dedication to documenting various geographical features around the world. With each detail carefully etched onto paper, this historical artifact allows us to appreciate how human innovation can adapt harmoniously with nature's offerings - creating homes that float upon tranquil waters while embracing simplicity amidst stunning surroundings.
