EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Inca and Coya (Emperor and Empress), attended by their Ccumillu, or Deformed Dwarf" transports us back in time to the ancient Inca civilization of Peru. The image depicts a powerful emperor and his empress, adorned in regal attire, surrounded by their loyal attendants. However, what truly captures our attention is the presence of a deformed dwarf known as the Ccumillu. The artist Edouard Riou skillfully brings to life this intriguing aspect of Inca society that may have been overlooked by many historians. The inclusion of the deformed dwarf challenges our preconceived notions about beauty and power during that era. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage and diversity that existed in Latin America centuries ago. It serves as a reminder that every society has its own unique customs and traditions which shape its identity. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for Paul Marcoy's book "Travels in South America" published in 1875. Its presence within private collections ensures its preservation for future generations to appreciate. Through this artwork, we are transported into a world where emperors ruled with authority, empresses exuded grace, and even those who were considered different found their place within society. It invites us to reflect on how perceptions of beauty have evolved over time while celebrating the resilience and inclusivity exhibited by ancient civilizations such as the Incas.
