EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during the early 1910s, in the ancient city of Cusco, Peru. Nestled in the Urubamba Valley of the Andes Mountains, the once-capital city of the Incan Empire is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the indigenous Quechua people. In the foreground, two Incan Indians are seen tending to their llama, a vital source of sustenance and transportation in the rugged Andean terrain. The llama, with its distinctive humps and large, expressive eyes, gazes intently at the camera, offering a glimpse into the daily life of these proud and resilient people. The backdrop of the image is dominated by the awe-inspiring Cyclopean walls of Cusco, a marvel of Incan engineering and architecture. The near-flawless positioning of the stones, each one meticulously cut and fitted together without the use of mortar, is a testament to the ingenuity and skill of the Incan population. These walls, which date back to the 13th century, stand as a symbol of the enduring traditions and the deep connection between the people and their land. The image transports us back to a time when the Incan civilization thrived, and the Andes Mountains were the heart of the South American continent. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history and the indomitable spirit of the indigenous people of Peru.
