EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Carios of Paraguay, 1599" takes us back in time to the fascinating world of South America's indigenous Guarani people. The engraving, created by Ulrich Schmidl after his expedition with Spanish conquistador Pedro Mendozas, offers a glimpse into the lives and culture of the native Carios. In this image, we witness a vibrant scene filled with intricate details. The Guarani figures are depicted engaging in various activities within their settlement. Men and women can be seen going about their daily routines, surrounded by huts and habitations that blend harmoniously with the lush landscape. The Guarani people are portrayed as skilled hunters and gatherers, armed with bows and arrows to provide sustenance for their community. Their connection to nature is evident through the presence of animals within the composition. Ulrich Schmidl's illustration serves as an invaluable historical document, shedding light on early encounters between European explorers and indigenous communities in Argentina. His account not only captures significant moments but also establishes him as Argentina's first historian. As we admire this remarkable artwork from a private collection, let us appreciate its cultural significance while recognizing the resilience and rich heritage of the Guarani people who have inhabited Paraguay for centuries.
