EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Guijanas, Indians of Paraguay" takes us back to the early 19th century, offering a glimpse into the lives and culture of these indigenous people. The image is part of "The old and modern costume" collection by Ferrario, showcasing various costumes from different regions. In this particular scene, we see a group of Guijana Indians in their traditional attire. Their naked bodies are adorned with intricate plumets and they hold lances in their hands. The artist has captured the essence of their habitat as well, depicting a humble hut in the background. The engraving beautifully portrays both the strength and vulnerability of these native people. It serves as a reminder that despite being stripped down to their bare essentials, they possess an undeniable sense of pride and resilience. Leonard de Selva's skillful photography brings this historical artwork to life once again. Through his lens, we can appreciate every detail etched on paper centuries ago. As we observe this image today, it prompts us to reflect upon our shared human history and diverse cultures around the world. It encourages us to celebrate our differences while recognizing our common humanity. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also invites us to explore deeper into the rich tapestry of indigenous heritage that continues to shape our world today.
