EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the ancient Inca civilization, showcasing an illustration of an Inca using a quipu. The quipu was a remarkable device employed by the Incas to record mathematical data and potentially even non-numerical information. This particular illustration is derived from Felipe Guaman Poma's El Primer Nueva Coronica y Buen Gobierno, which remains as the sole surviving Codex from Peru, offering invaluable insights into Peruvian life. In this image, we witness the Keeper of the Quipu engrossed in his task, unraveling intricate threads while meticulously calculating numbers or perhaps encoding other essential details. His focused expression reflects both concentration and reverence for this ingenious tool that served as their calculators centuries before modern technology emerged. The monochromatic aesthetic enhances the timeless quality of this artwork, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance without distractions. It serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and innovation throughout history. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are transported to a world where mathematics played a vital role in understanding and organizing society. It offers us an opportunity to reflect on our own advancements while acknowledging the ingenuity of those who came before us - native Americans who harnessed their intellectual prowess through tools like the quipu.
