EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Apprets of a Dinner at the Post Office of Aguas Calientes (Peru)" takes us on a visual journey through South America in the mid-19th century. The drawing, skillfully created by Paul Marcoy and engraved in "Le tour du monde" by Edouard Charton in 1862, showcases the rich cultural heritage and culinary traditions of Peru. In this scene, we are transported to the post office in Aguas Calientes, where a group of indigenous Peruvians is preparing a meal. The image captures their deep connection to their ancestral roots as they cook over an open fire using traditional methods and utensils. A large pot sits atop the flames, filled with ingredients that will soon transform into a delicious feast. The engraving's black-and-white aesthetic adds depth and timelessness to the composition, emphasizing both the historical significance and enduring beauty of this moment. It serves as a reminder of how food has always been an integral part of human civilization, connecting people across generations and cultures. Through this artwork, we gain insight into Marcoy's remarkable journey from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean during his exploration of South America between 1848 and 1860. It offers us a glimpse into Peru's vibrant culinary heritage while celebrating its indigenous communities' resilience and ingenuity. Leonard de Selva's preservation of this piece ensures that future generations can appreciate its historical value while marveling at its artistic brilliance.
