EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches in Venezuela" takes us back to the year 1895, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of this South American nation. The lithograph, created by Henry Charles Seppings Wright, showcases a series of sketches that were originally published in The Illustrated London News. In this particular image, we are transported to the heart of Caracas, Venezuela's capital city. The scene depicts two contrasting quarters: the poor man's quarter and the rich man's house. On one side, we see humble dwellings nestled amidst lush greenery and narrow streets bustling with life. Indigenous people known as Indians add an authentic touch to the composition. On the other side lies a magnificent mansion surrounded by opulent gardens called Calvario Garden. A well-to-do family is portrayed enjoying their luxurious lifestyle within these grand walls. The sketch beautifully captures not only the topography but also provides insight into Venezuelan society during that era. It serves as a visual testament to both economic disparities and diverse cultures coexisting harmoniously in this corner of Latin America. Bridgeman Images has meticulously preserved this engraving from its private collection for art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate and learn from it today. As we gaze upon this historical gem, let us reflect on how far Venezuela has come while cherishing its vibrant past.
