EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of daily life in Spain during the 19th century. Titled "The tinajas of the Channel" it showcases the traditional use of enormous earthen jars, replacing barrels for various purposes. The engraving, illustrated by Gustave Dore and Baron Ch. Davillier, takes us on a journey to Spain in 1862. In this scene, we witness a quaint village setting with a windmill towering over rustic homes. The locals go about their routines as a couple leisurely couples nearby. These massive clay jars known as tinajas serve multiple functions within the community - storing water, fermenting wine or olive oil, and preserving food. Dore's attention to detail beautifully depicts Spanish peasants engaging in their everyday activities amidst these iconic vessels. This image is part of Selva Collection and was originally published in "Le tour du monde, nouveau journal des voyages" under Edouard Charton's direction in 1868. As we delve into this historical artwork captured by Leonard de Selva's lens, we are transported back to an era where simplicity prevailed and tradition shaped daily life. It serves as a reminder of how ancient practices like using tinajas have endured through generations while offering insight into Spanish culture from centuries past.
