EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a wedding scene in Peru, depicting the manner in which the Incas marry those of their blood. Created by Bernard Picart for the book "Ceremonies et coutumes religieuses de tous les peuples du monde" (Religious Ceremonies and Customs of All the Peoples of the World), this engraving offers a glimpse into 18th-century American Indian culture. Despite never having left Europe himself, Picart relied on firsthand accounts from those who had experienced indigenous customs. His work marked a significant shift in European attitudes towards religious belief and sacred practices. In this image, we see an Inca bride adorned with feathers and jewelry, wearing traditional clothing and headdress. The groom stands beside her, also dressed in ceremonial attire. A priest officiates the union while locals observe with reverence. The attention to detail is remarkable as every element - from footwear to earrings - showcases the cultural significance attached to each item. This print not only provides insight into Incan marriage rituals but also serves as a testament to the diversity and beauty of native peoples in the New World. As we admire this historical artwork, let us appreciate its contribution to our understanding of different cultures and recognize how it shaped European perceptions during that era.
