EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The camp invaded by the Indians" takes us back in time to an era of exploration and adventure. The engraving, created by Riou, was intended to illustrate the story "Voyage dans le Chaco Boreal" written by A. Thouar in 1886-1887. The scene depicted in this artwork transports us to a remote campsite deep within the uncharted lands of South America. As we gaze upon the image, we are immediately drawn into a world where French explorers encounter a crowd of native Indians. The tension is palpable as both parties navigate their first encounter with one another. Edouard Charton, director of "le tour du monde" curated this piece for publication in 1890 under Hachette Paris. It serves as a testament to his dedication to showcasing stories from around the globe. Leonard de Selva's photograph beautifully captures this historical moment frozen in time. Through his lens, we can appreciate the intricate details and emotions conveyed by Riou's masterful engraving. As we observe this print today, it reminds us of humanity's insatiable curiosity and our relentless pursuit of knowledge through exploration. It invites us to reflect on our own journeys and encounters with different cultures while appreciating the artistic beauty that arises from these experiences.
