EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Pesca no Rio Grande, 1895" takes us back to the enchanting landscapes of Brazil in the late 19th century. The artist behind this masterpiece is Francisco Henszler, who skillfully captures a scene of local fishermen engaging in their daily routine along the river. The image showcases the transportation methods used during that era as we see several men navigating a traditional canoe through the calm waters. These brave individuals are seen casting their fishing rods with expertise and determination, hoping for a bountiful catch to sustain their community. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of nostalgia and timelessness to this portrait. It allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of nature but also the resilience and resourcefulness of these Brazilian fishermen. Their connection with both land and water is evident as they harmoniously coexist within this picturesque setting. This photograph serves as a valuable historical document, offering insights into life in São Paulo during that period. It reminds us of our deep-rooted relationship with our environment and how it has shaped our culture over centuries. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece by Gustavo Koenigswald from his book "São Paulo" we are transported back to a simpler time when man's livelihood depended on his ability to navigate rivers like Rio Grande and harness its abundant resources for survival.
