1884 1969 Carried Edition Pedagogue Venezuelan 1935 Aisa Canaima
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the esteemed Venezuelan writer and politician, Rmulo Gallegos (1884-1969), in the later years of his life. Born on October 16, 1884, in the Lara state of Venezuela, Gallegos was a prominent figure in Venezuelan history, serving as the country's President from 1945 to 1948. Before his political career, Gallegos was a renowned pedagogue and writer. He studied law at the Central University of Venezuela and later became a professor at the National University. Gallegos is best known for his literary works, particularly his novel "Doña Bárbara," which is considered a classic of Latin American literature. The photograph was taken in 1969, a few years before Gallegos' passing. He is seen carrying a stack of papers, likely related to his political or literary work. The photograph's background suggests that it was taken in a study or office setting. Gallegos' political career began in 1935 when he was appointed as the governor of the Canaima Federal Territory in the Amazon region of Venezuela. He later became the Vice President of Venezuela under President Romulo Gallegos (no relation), serving from 1941 to 1942. This edition of the photograph is a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the life of a man who played a significant role in Venezuelan history. The photograph's import lies not only in its depiction of a notable figure but also in the insight it provides into the daily life and work of a man who was both a writer and a politician.
