EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the imposing figure of Peruvian giant Basilio Huaylas, standing at an impressive 7 feet tall at the young age of 24. A native American hailing from Ica in the south, he was exhibited in the bustling capital city of Lima back in 1792, where his extraordinary stature must have left spectators in awe.
In this striking image, Basilio Huaylas is contrasted with an ordinary man holding a musical instrument known as the arpa indigena, or indigenous harp. The juxtaposition between the two figures highlights not only his physical size but also his cultural heritage and uniqueness.
Originally featured in Richard Phillips' "Present State of Peru" from 1805, this hand-colored copperplate engraving was later included in Friedrich Johann Bertuch's "Bilderbuch fur Kinder" (Picture Book for Children) published in Weimar in 1807. Bertuch, a renowned German publisher and man of arts, created a comprehensive encyclopedia for children filled with engraved plates on various subjects such as natural history, science, costume, and mythology.
This historical snapshot offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of early 19th-century Peru and showcases Basilio Huaylas as a remarkable individual whose presence undoubtedly left a lasting impression on all those who had the privilege to witness him firsthand.
