EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the late 19th century, where exploration and adventure were at their peak. The image showcases Apatou, a native guide and travel companion, requesting the explorer author to engrave his initials in the bark of a tree. This intimate moment between two individuals from different worlds captures the essence of their unique bond. The engraving by Riou beautifully illustrates the story of Cayenne aux Andes, written by Jules Crevaux, a doctor in the French navy. Published in 1881 as part of Tour du monde under Edouard Charton's direction, this piece takes us on an extraordinary journey through uncharted territories. The Selva Collection has preserved this remarkable snapshot of history that showcases not only exploration but also cultural exchange. The photograph highlights both Apatou's trust in his companion and their shared connection with nature. Leonard de Selva's expert photography skillfully captures every detail - from the texture of the tree trunk to Apatou's nudity symbolizing his closeness to nature. It is evident that this image holds great significance as it immortalizes a fleeting moment frozen in time. As we admire this stunning artwork today, we are reminded of humanity's thirst for discovery and our ability to form profound connections across cultures and continents.
