EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a traditional scene of indigenous people in Guiana. The image depicts Les Indiens Galibis (or Kalinas) engrossed in the art of pottery making, as captured by French artist D. Maillart. This engraving was originally published in the renowned travel magazine "Le Tour du Monde" under the guidance of Edouard Charton in 1879. The photograph offers a glimpse into Dr. Jules Crevaux's exploration voyage through the interior of Guiana between 1876 and 1877. As a doctor serving in the French Navy, Dr. Crevaux documented his encounters with various native populations during his expedition. In this particular snapshot, we witness an intimate moment within an indigenous village where ceramic manufacturing technology is being passed down from one generation to another. The family unit is at work here, preserving their cultural heritage through handicrafts and traditions that have been practiced for generations. The Selva Collection has preserved this historical gem, allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also gain insight into the lives and customs of these native communities from centuries ago. Leonard de Selva's photography beautifully captures this engraving, reminding us of our shared human history and offering a window into a world long gone by.
