EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Indians playing Ciueca, Chile" takes us back in time to witness a traditional South American sport. The image is an exquisite color engraving from the 19th century, created by Jules Ferrario and engraved by Paolo Fumagalli. It was published as part of Le Costume Ancien et Moderne, Volume II. The scene depicts a spirited game reminiscent of hockey, played by indigenous people in Chile. The players are adorned with vibrant feather headdresses that add a touch of elegance to their athletic prowess. With sticks in hand, they engage in this ancient team sport on a vast field or pitch. The composition beautifully captures the energy and excitement of the game. Each player's determination is palpable as they skillfully maneuver the ball across the field amidst cheers and shouts from spectators. Through this artwork, we gain insight into the rich cultural heritage of South America and its native peoples' love for sports. This particular game showcases their ingenuity and passion for competition. As we admire this historical print, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also recognize how it serves as a window into another era – one where traditions were celebrated through physical activities like Ciueca.
