EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 17th century showcases a South American Indian indulging in the rich flavors of chocolate. The image depicts an indigenous person holding a traditional chocolate pot, drinking cup, and stirrer known as a molinet. This print is a reproduction of a plate found in Philippe Sylvestre Dufour's "Traites Nouveaux et Curieux du Cafe, du The, et du Chocolate" published in 1688. The scene transports us to the heart of South America during this time period when cocoa was highly valued for its taste and medicinal properties. The intricate details captured by the French School artist highlight the cultural significance of chocolate among these indigenous communities. Surrounded by lush foliage and towering trees, this artwork also emphasizes the botanical origins of cocoa. It serves as a reminder that chocolate comes from cacao trees which were native to this region. The presence of bows and arrows suggests that this South American Indian may have been part of an indigenous tribe known for their archery skills or perhaps it symbolizes their connection with nature and hunting practices. Overall, this engraving offers us a glimpse into history while celebrating both the cultural importance and natural beauty associated with cocoa production in South America during the 17th century.
