EDITORS COMMENTS
This line engraving, titled "NEW WORLD: EL DORADO, 1727. The gilding of El Dorado" takes us back to a time when legends of untold wealth and opulence in the New World fascinated explorers and dreamers alike. In this scene, we witness the extravagant ritual of adorning El Dorado with gold dust. The Indian king reclines on a regal hammock while his attendants delicately puff golden particles onto his body through a tube. This meticulous process symbolizes both reverence for their ruler and the abundance of riches that surround him. Meanwhile, his lords revel in their own hammocks nearby, indulging in drinks as they partake in this spectacle. The artist's intricate details transport us to South America during the early 18th century when tribes thrived amidst lush landscapes and rich cultures. The gilt decorations highlight not only the material wealth but also the spiritual significance attached to gold within these societies. This historical print from 1727 offers a glimpse into an era where exploration fueled imaginations with tales of unimaginable treasures waiting to be discovered. It serves as a reminder that even though El Dorado may have remained elusive, its allure continues to captivate our collective imagination centuries later.
