EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white woodcut print captures the essence of the Inca Harvest Festival, a momentous occasion where Incas from all walks of life gather at the Colcan temple garden of the sun. The image, dating back to 1633, is taken from a French edition of Garcilaso de la Vegas Histoire des Yncas, Roye du Peru. In this scene, we witness a vibrant assembly of Incas dressed in traditional attire, their faces adorned with expressions of anticipation and joy. Against the backdrop of an early autumn day, they stand before the majestic Colcan temple - a testament to their deep-rooted religious beliefs and reverence for nature's bounty. The festival represents more than just an abundant harvest; it symbolizes unity among communities as they come together to celebrate their shared prosperity. As depicted in this woodcut print, music fills the air while offerings are made to honor Pachamama (Mother Earth) and Inti (the Sun God), who are believed to bless them with fertility and abundance. Through intricate details carved into each figure's clothing and accessories, one can appreciate both the craftsmanship involved in creating this artwork as well as gain insight into Inca culture. This precious snapshot offers us a glimpse into ancient Peruvian history – reminding us that even centuries later, traditions continue to shape our understanding of diverse cultures around the world.
